We all had a great time celebrating Tara's upcoming baby boy at Don Jose's, one of my favorite all-time restaurants. They have a lovely screened room on the lake which is a perfect place for a large family with several small children. It is a plus that we can have the interconnected families get together for a joint celebration.
Tara and her baby will be returning to California soon to prepare for her husband's return from Afghanistan and the new baby's arrival not long after. We are all going to miss them terribly. She came here five months ago with a baby who is now a very active, vocal toddler.
I have been fortunate to keep my family together for as long as I have and now they are starting to establish their own little branches, first my son and his lovely wife, Katie, and then my two older granddaughters, one 40 miles away and the other one all the way across the country. Skype has been a wonderful help in keeping us in touch and having family members branching out adds a different perspective into the family discussions. We are fortunate to have Katie contributing. She is not only gorgeous but also a very bright and accomplished young woman.
