We drove for 2 days last week, to go way up North to see extended family (on my side).
We ate lots of ice cream
(it was pretty hot),
played on the World’s Largest Slip-n-Slide,
shot potatoes across the river,
took rides behind the tractor mower,
hugged a great-grandma Jane,
and smothered a sweet baby girl with kisses.
We had a pretty great time, and it was so nice to spend time with family we don’t see very often!
Although our family has been pretty busy over the past several weeks, we have had some pretty wonderful times with family members that we don’t get to see very often.
Aunt Abby and Aunt Mary (aka “Ant Aby” and “Ant Marry” by my little phonetic spellers) came to visit for a couple of days. So nice to spend time with them…and as usual, I wish I’d taken more pictures!
We had a chance to spend a day with the Maryland gang, too, which was really nice. This is another group of people that we don’t get to see very often. The cousins had a pretty fun day together…
Raise your hand if you know how hard it is to get a picture of six children (six and under).
One more try….
Yay!
It was so nice to spend time enjoying the day together…Judi’s sister lives in Richmond, which is almost halfway between us. They have a lovely home that is always welcoming and comfortable.
Complete with a gigantic rope swing. (oh boy)
And a trampoline!
These are our sweet niece and nephew. They just about match Charlotte and Asher in age, and it was pretty fun to see the cousins all get to know one another better during the day.
We were all happy to get to know the newest member of the family….
Sweet, sweet girl. Isn’t she beautiful?
Next up: fresh spring dresses for my girls, sewn by their Mama. Hasn’t the weather taken a turn for the best? We are all so happy to be outside again.
