Ava finally met her Great Aunts, Uncles and cousins from the Green side of the family - my mother's siblings, their children and their children's children. My mother, known as Grandmother Catherine to our nieces and nephews has five sisters and one brother. None of our nieces and nephews ever had the chance to meet Grandmother Catherine because she died many years ago - in 1980 when I was 12. However, we have taken every opportunity to keep her memory alive and to tell the nieces and nephews stories about her. Also, it is important for Ava to know her Great Aunts, Uncles and cousins on Grandmother Catherine's side of the family. This past weekend Chris, Ava and I traveled to San Antonio for my cousin's wedding. We had a fabulous time! It was a much overdue family reunion of several Great Aunts and Uncles and many, many cousins (first, second and third) to Ava! One of the cousins, when asked her favorite part of the wedding said "Baby Ava and then the cake!" That's right...not the bride or when the groom kissed the bride, but baby Ava and the cake! Gotta love it!
