We've enjoyed introducing Yuri to our family... of course we've had several visits from Vivian and UBS (that's Uncle Big Steve), and he met his Grandma and Grandpa Kreider mere seconds after birth. Most recently, we've had visits from Aunt Kara, Grandma Kay and Great-Grandma Sutter, as well as a quick trip out to Kansas City to see Bill's family (and he was a pretty good traveler, so look out!). In KC, Yuri met his Grandma & Grandpa, two uncles, and 5 of his 6 first-cousins. His Grandpa Sunderland recently had surgery for an acoustic neuroma, and so it was good to see him recovering nicely at the nursing facility.

Yuri is a pretty happy baby, but Aunt Kara had a way to really get him going. I see family resemblance!

4 generations. I hope to get this same photo with Dad and Grandma Kreider one day!

Yuri with his first-cousins ... all but one who was away at camp. They were all excited to meet the lastest addition to the family.

Yuri's Grandma Esther and Grandpa Jim Sunderland.

The growing kid himself...
And, this weekend we'll introduce him to Evan and Janice at Steve's 50th birthday bash in Hoquiam.
