The first weekend in Feb, we all gathered at the old neighborhood park to say hello to our new nephew Henry, to visit with our visiting Aunt Marion, and say good by to the Molnars. Dan and Judith, Ben and Henry came down for the weekend to show off the newest Hoban. Little Henry Thomas was two months old, not liking being out of his own environment. But we all loved him anyway. Ben was a very active two year old who fit right in with all his cousins. There were enough eyes to watch him explore this new park.
Here's Tibor trying out Ben's attached skate board. It hooks on to Henry's stroller, and then he can keep up with mom going for a walk.
Here's KD with Margie.
Jackson with Jerome
Duggan with Aunt Sheila.
Here's Duggan conning Uncle Tom into and ice cream and with her buddy Bri.
Bri always shares her bunnies with the kids. What a great cousin.
Danya and Stenner
Another reason we gathered, the Molnars were moving to Sacramento. We needed last shots of everyone to freeze time. Needless to say, it was a day of highs and lows. We all love to just gather, share the time and catch up but good-byes are a little harder.

Aunt Marion with Stenner
Aunt Marion was in California for her "get out of the snow" visit. We love to see her, celebrate her birthday and get all the scoop about the Michigan family. So she got a party in the park this year with all the other January-February birthdays.

I am sure we missed a few people but you get the jest of it.
Family, friends and food = fun day in the park.
