Family Dynamics

Jill's Journal: The girls have probably visited with their Great Uncle Punior (loosely rhymes with “junior”) only six or seven times in their young lives, which is actually quite impressive considering we’ve always lived on the opposite end of the country. Last year and this, they haven’t been able to share a word with him as he has been deaf since spending about a month in a coma nearly two years ago. He’s still recovering, but one thing is obvious: he loves these girls. And they can tell; look at the smiles on their faces.

Dinner at Great Grandma Lili’s –featuring her famous, authentic Armenian pilaf– also gave us a visit with Punior’s long-time partner, Patti, and the girls’ Great Uncle Brian. All these people may appear meek in this photo, but they’re always surprisingly rowdy, especially when gathered together during meals. It’s fun for the girls to get a taste for different family dynamics.
