I'd just finished feeding Esther and snuggled her up next to the couch so that hopefully she'd stay sleeping and feel like she was still being held...

needless to say, she woke up and was searching for more grub. Is it any wonder she's growing so well?








My Mom especially liked having us down to visit. She was eager to hold Esther any chance she got. I'm glad she loves our kids, and us, so much.












We got to visit Grandma and Grandpa Weight who have many MANY grandchildren -- in the 70s I think -- and had 13 children themselves. I'm amazed how they remember us all individually. We love seeing them.







My Dad has a lot of fun with his grandkids. Here he was giving Amy and Rylee a tutorial on how to play the piano. I love Rylee's facial expression. She had just gotten up from a nap. And note the little clip in Amy's hair -- I made that! Shera taught me how to make little bows and clips and I loved it!! I never knew a glue gun, felt, buttons and yarn could be so fun.








It was great to spend time with family. I feel very grateful to have such a wonderful family who also make me laugh a lot. Ben, my brother, never fails to make me laugh quite hard when I get to see him. All in all, though traveling is not my favorite thing, it was a great visit and well worth going.
