We thought the whole week might be just as stressful as the car ride, but it wasn't! I'd go as far as saying it was the best/most successful trip we've taken to Junction to date. Both the girls slept great (out of the car). None of the kids were sick (out of the car). Jonathan and I weren't stressed like we usually are, it was a great time! See:
Me and the sibs
Add in the spouses and we all got to go out to sushi kid free! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Gus!
Shortly after Jonathan and I arrived on Sunday Elsha had her baby boy, Daniel! Pretty sure he was just waiting for me to get there! ;) That's number 9 for my parents!
He's just the sweetest lil guy in the world. I think his birth and diagnosis of Down Syndrome put a calming effect on our family. It made us all take a step back and realize how precious life is, and then made the bond of the Gustavson family that much tighter, as we rallied together with support and love for Elsha and Brian and their family. I truly am excited to learn and grow along with Daniel and I can't wait for my kids to be a part of his life.
OMG I could just eat him!
Too bad the weeks in Junction always go by too fast! Hopefully we'll get to go back soon!

Props to Grandma and Grandpa! That's a lot of kids to take care of at once!
I hope we have as productive and fun filled time in Junction like you guys were able to!
As you know we will be there starting Saturday and then will follow up this trip with three more this year so hopefully we can plan a bit better and have some of our time overlap so that we can see each other!
PS- Love your photos of Daniel! He is so precious!
I like nthat you and Elsha picked the same picture except for Karl - he looks a little goofy here, no? Love the personalities!
Great pics!
