Much Needed Family Time

We enjoyed a lovely weekend with Jon's family. We came together to celebrate our cute-as-a-button neice, Addison! From a minor league baseball game to a water gun fight at the park, the kids had a great time with Aunts, Uncles and their Grandparents. The party was just the icing on the cake.

We are so blessed to be able to get together as much as we do, especially since we are so far apart. Jon's family is just great. Everytime we get together, I am flooded with memories of my childhood. Spending time with my Grammie and Papa was one of my favorite things to do. It was never about eating out or the stuff they gave us, it was about the time they spent with us. Teaching us, loving us and molding us. They were always 100% present and never worried about the world around them when we were with them. I feel so blessed to give that to Jack and Ella.
