[family]

9:27 AM

i just LOVE family. i grew up spending lots of time with mine. grandparents, aunts, uncles, & cousins.

now that the family is growing i get the privilege of having the role as a wife, mommy, & aunt. this past weekend we got a special visit from my brother-in-law, mike, and nephews (jude, sammy, and amos) while my sister-in-law, allison was away in ny. we had the opportunity to celebrate amos's 2nd birthday as well as celebrate easter together. all the cousins had some much fun. thought i would share some pictures from this fun filled weekend. enjoy!

such a fun afternoon of searching for eggs around the front yard

we also had tim's grandparents from north carolina come into town for the weekend. they were here in grand rapids for the day before heading back up north to big rapids. amos got to meet them for the first time and that was pretty exciting. these grandparents were huge in helping tim and i start dating->engaged->married. they lived 20 minutes away from my home in nc. so there was a lot of back and forth from their home and mine while i was living in nc. it was such a blessing having that time and forming such a great relationship with them.
