There have been a number of visits with family while we’ve been in Janesville and even one family reunion. Most of the get-togethers have been with my family since they’re in Wisconsin, but we have seen some of Bob’s family as well. Sadly, we don’t always remember to take photos, but the following visits were photographically recorded.
My mom is the oldest of 13 children (12 still living), and I am the oldest grandchild — but only by a couple of months. Bob and I recently met up with my cousin who is closest in age to me for a celebration of both of our 60th birthdays.

On Friday, Bob and I drove 2.5 hours into Chicago to visit one of my aunts (my mom’s sister) and then see our nephew and his family.


We spent the night at Dee’s and then drove along Lake shore Avenue north to our nephew’s house. Some scenes from the drive.



Our nephew and his wife have a 2.5 year old son and a 1 month old daughter. The son had a baseball class that morning that we got to attend.
