The boys are working on a family tree at school, so I thought it would be fitting to post a few photos of our extended family in my blog. Even though this tree is incomplete (a lot of family members have not met Austin and Bassem yet), it’s a starting point! Our family tree will eventually include pictures of the boys with their respective aunts, uncles, grandpas, nanas, and so on. It may take some time to get this tree complete- seeing that we’ve got family living all over the place (and in two different countries).
The starting point- our most recent family photo taken in November 2010. Austin and Bassem are 2.5.
Aunty Leah (my sister) and Uncle Christopher are the best thing since sliced bread, as far as the boys are concerned. They can't get enough of them- every visit with Aunty & Uncle is guaranteed to be a rockin' good time!
The boys love playing with Nana Cook (my Mom), especially when there is cuddling involved!
The boys did not get a chance to get to know Grandpa Cook (my Dad) past their infancy (he passed away from cancer when they turned 9 months old). But Dad sure did love napping with them and snapping their pictures whenever he visited us.
As the boys get older and long distance travel becomes easier, we will be able to introduce the boys to the Morinville Canucks! To date, Uncle Albert (1 of Larry's 3 brothers) has been the only one to venture to the US. Albert is Bassem's Godfather. This photo was take at Bassem's baptism in Jan 2009 (Lisa Fedy is Bassem's Godmother). Once we are living in Boise again we hope to entice more of Larry's family to visit us. Or maybe we'll just head up north to see the sights ourselves….during the summer months, of course!
To be continued…
