The Paulsons come to SF

Aunt Judy with Charlotte (L) and Ruby (R)

Last weekend, our cousin Danny graduated from SF State.  All of the Southern California Paulsons got together in SF to celebrate over the weekend.  We couldn't go to all of the weekend's festivities, but we were so glad we got to spend some time with everyone and that they got to meet Ruby & Charlotte!

Ruby & Charlotte with Andy.  Andy and his wife Jessie are expecting a baby in September so he was practicing his parenting skills on the girls.

Gretchen tickling Hank.  He kept calling her "the girl".  Perhaps "Gretchen" is too hard to say??  Gretchen is the baby whisperer in the family.  All kids just gravitate to her.  Last time we saw Gretchen Hank was just one year old and he loved her then too.

Andy slipping Hank a cookie.  Since Andy lives on the East Coast, this was his first time to meet Hank.

Timmy indulging Hank and watching the tree trimmers outside.

Hank spent a lot of time watching the tree trimmers out the beautiful bay window.

We had so much fun visiting and catching up with our cousins and Uncle Tim & Aunt Judy.  We love being with them!  The girls loved all the attention and Hank was having a blast with so many people to hang out with.  I think he made everyone play with him at one point during the day.  Cousin Sarah and her husband Brian were there too along with their son Dex.  (I didn't get a picture of them or Danny, the man of honor.)  Dex is almost 2 years old and he and Hank had a lot of fun throwing balls around and playing chase up and down the hall way and the stairs.  I couldn't get a picture of these two because they were so fast!
