Jason is the oldest in his family of seven. Malcolm and Stephanie are his parents, and everyone calls his maternal grandma 2 Nans. So it's Jason, Peter and his wife Celeste, Joseph, Rachel, Benjamin, Nathan, and Malcolm (2 years younger than Thomas!). Then of course there's me and my 3.
2 Nans and Peter and Celeste live 45 minutes away, Joseph lives 90 minutes away, Rachel lives in Sydney (13 hour drive or 1 hour flight), but the rest of the bunch lives just up the street.
I need to take more pictures of these two. I had to search to find Penny with Uncle Peter and Aunt Celeste.
With Joe at the park.
Jason, Joe and underwear wearing Sam on our back (I guess it's more like our side) porch.
Penny loves her Uncle Nathan (she also has an American uncle and a cousin named Nathan).
I took this picture from the front of our house. Penny was going with Nathan who was walking their dog, Monty.
Penny loves 2 Nans.
The kids wrestling with Grandad. Yes, there's a person under that pile of kids.
Nan entertains our kids and her youngest boy while Grandad trains for the Olympics.
Everyone says Penny is just like her Aunt Rachel. (I better watch out-- wink wink)
Penny hitching a ride on Grandad's shoulders.
Ben pushed Sam on the swings until he fell asleep.
Cousins
These are our kid's second cousins. The first pictures are from a baptism. Sam was really loving this little girl cousin. At first he wouldn't leave her alone, like he was smothering her-- but then the tables turned and he didn't like that so much.
Below: Libby has stayed the night at our house twice-- once with her older brother (I didn't pull my camera out that night). She's a cutie.

That was great to see everyone we've heard about. That picture with Penny & Rebecca - OH MY GOSH. She looks sooo much like her. That was a bit freaky!!! I always thought she looked like the Mauzy/Goodman family, but now I may change my mind. We sure love our Penny girl!!! And it looks like Sam was flirting with some girl as well. My little Nathan does that A LOT - he goes up to girls all the time and starts to flirt with them. It is funny to watch!
That was fun to see everyone. Shelly's right Penny looks just like Rachel - holy cow! Also, what is Jason's dad doing on the trampoline? I blew the picture up and it looks like he's not even on it - like he's below it, was he falling off or something? How fun to have everyone together. What event was happening to get everyone together? How fun.
Allison email me. I know you will see this before you look at your email.
Love Jason.
Allison,
That was so fun to see everyone! They seem like a really fun family. We miss you!
It took me about 5 minutes to figure out who everyone was...Nathan is a cutie pie. I'll have to go back & look at Rachel more closely. I think Penny looks like Penny (who could be as cute?) Lovely family picture!
Forgot to say that I was getting mad at Ben as you said he pushed Sam on the swing until he fell. Then I saw the "asleep" on a hanging line and figured he's OK. [Darn this silly software that won't let you line things up!]
