Pictures of Our UK Family

We were so fortunate to get to spend time with family in London during our vacation and they were kind enough to take turns hosting us all overnight as well. We really appreciated having the one-on-one time with each family and especially are thankful for the delicious food and comfortable accommodations. Thank you everyone for your generosity and love. We hope to see you all again soon. Savannah gave lots of kisses to her cousins and really enjoyed playing with the fun new toys. This gorgeous crew is the Zablon Omondi family. Michael and Zablon are first cousins. Zabo is married to beautiful Miriam and they have three handsome boys. Here are just a few of the precious moments with Alice and Mark. Mark is Michaels' older brother. Savannah really took to all of the family but she definately gave the most kisses to Alice and Mark during our many visits. One of the highlights of our visit was to go to the Horniman Museum where we all got to play with miscellaneous musical instruments and robotic insects. This gorgeous crew is the Peter Omondi family. Michael and Peter are first cousins. Peter is married to beautiful Alice and they have one handsome boy and three gorgeous girls. Savannah loved that all our her cousins homes had stairs to climb. Thanks again to her sweet cousins for keeping her busy so that she wasn't tumbling down any stairs. This good-looking group is the Japheth Ochieng family. Michael and Japheth are first cousins. Japheth is married to beautiful Phoebe and they have four children, two beautiful girls (Sylvia & Winnie) and two handsome boys (Richard & James). Thanks again to all of our beautiful family for hosting us and treating us so well. We love and miss you all. Please come visit us anytime.

How fun for you all to spend time with Michael's family. I didn't realize he had so many family members in the UK. Such fun to have big families that get along so well.

I'm sure Michael especially enjoyed seeing family that he doesn't get to see often, but also for you and Savannah to have so many new faces to meet. What a special trip.
Love ya,

It was nice to see & 'meet' more of Michael's family. Looks like everyone had a blast too.
I hear ya about the stairs! It wasn't long before Ethan would race to the top & we'd be chasing him. He likes to show how capable he is but it can be scary.
we love & miss you,
Chelsea
