Family Gathering With Tannaz and Salar June 2012

Tannaz and Salar are Saeed's brother's (Bozorg) children. Tannaz lives in Atlanta with her husband, Masih, and their twins Atousa and Khashayar. Salar lives in England with his British wife, Anna, and their two children Saam and Elyse. In June we met Shirin and Gabriel at Tannaz's house for an afternoon of fun.

L --> R: Gabriel, Anna holding Elyse, Khashayar being held by Tannaz, Tannaz's mom Farideh holding Atousa, Cyrus, Shirin, Kai, Saam being held by Salar. Missing were Saeed, Masih and Khashayar who was being put down for a nap.

Cyrus and Khashayar wasted no time and got right down to playing.

Anna was helping Saam do the rocket launcher.

Elyse, Atousa, Khashayar on the couch.

Saeed with Salar.

Shirin talks with her cousin.

Isn't this a great picture?

And this is how we got the kids to stay there, by singing "the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round."

Masih blew up the pool for the kids. Kai and Cyrus knew exactly what to do.

It was Atousa and Khashayar's first time in the pool. They did great.

Tannaz tried to get all the kids to look up for a picture.

What a nice deck with a lovely wild back yard.

One last photograph before saying goodbye.

The airplane is reaching for his mommy.

Kai nestled in his favorite place, his mommy's body.

We celebrated Father's Day. Happy Father's Day Gabriel!

Saeed was treated to some gifts...

... and some schmoozles.

Shirin and Cyrus look nice and comfy but pretty soon...

... everyone's on the couch! With the potty nearby just in case!

Beatrice is a kitten Shirin saved off the road (see the scratches on her nose) who ultimately went to live with our friends Darren and Merry and their two girls.

Earl seems to know he must be gentle with the little silly creature.

I actually enjoy these blog posts from long ago. It's so fun to see pictures of us from events I almost forgot happened.
