Nihao

(forgive me while I am still playing catch up...)

The last weekend in June, Jake's younger brother returned home from serving a 2 year mission in Taiwan. We made a quick road trip up to Salt Lake to see Parker and attend his homecoming and also to introduce miss Brenn to Jake's side of the family.

Carder with Uncle Parker...he felt especially excited that he could now share the small bit of Mandarin he'd picked up from his kids show Nihao Kilan

Annie with Brenn (who is about 3 weeks old here)

Jake's sister Allie had her baby exactly 2 weeks after I had Brenn...Here is Jake with Mr Carson

Brenn is always sleeping with her hand up to her face...I dunno if it's a sign she is going to be super dramatic or that she is just a girly girl

Brenn with Great-Grandma Apostol

Jake with baby Jacob

Brenn & Carson
(3 weeks) (1 week)

Jake, Annie & Allie with their babies

The cousin count doubled this year with the arrival of three new babies (Brenn & Carson in June and Jacob last December) Jacob is a pretty solid kid and looked humongous next to the two new babies so everyone started calling him Big Jake.
