We had a family celebration at the orange grove for both Ron and Rachael, who had birthdays on April 17th and 18th. Ron turned 39, and Rachael turned 35.

This was baby Milo’s first big outing, and his mom and dad wrote tonight that he may have to sleep for two solid days to recover. All five grandkids were here, plus our three daughters and two of their husbands. We are missing Gregorio, who had a previous commitment, but we hope to see him soon.

Here are a few photos of our gathering:
