Photo with the Grandkids

We're back home now after visiting my family in Houston this weekend. We went back to my Mom and Dad's house on Saturday morning, because my niece Emily was back from spending time with her dad, which meant that we could get a photo of all of the grandkids. The girls in particular were not keen on getting their photo taken, but they knew it was important to their Lolo so they grudgingly agreed.

Dad was already sitting in a chair in front of the sofa, so the kids had to figure out where to stand with the sofa in the way. At one point, my sister Cynthia told her son Nick to stand up instead of sitting/leaning on the sofa so that Emily would not look like she was taller than he was. I chose this picture out of the several I took because Nick indeed looked taller than Emily. Interestingly, Alex is taller than Anthony, but he is not as much as it seems here. Since he is in the foreground, he looks that much taller than his older brother.

A few minutes after this picture was taken and the girls had gone back into hiding in the back bedroom, Dad said he wanted a picture with everyone, including all the adults. We did get a picture, but it was a low resolution photo taken with Melissa's old iPad 2 the she had given to Dad. I was happy with this photo with the grandkids.

Patrick grilled steak tonight, at Anthony's request, and it was nice to have a relaxed meal at home before most of us have to go back to school and work tomorrow.
