Time with Family


The boys Clayton and Noah, Lilly and Madeline, my cousin Patrick (what a sweetheart) and Noah looking at the tigers, all the kids checking out the tiger, big girl Sadie, fun on the train, and Lilly with her daddy, Matthew

Patrick and his SIL, Amy and sweet baby Lucy, my good looking aunt Susanne with the boys, all the girls (Susanne, Amy, Jenn, me), my cousin Matthew with Clayton, my sister and Clayton, Uncle Jimbo with Madeline and Patrick, and sister in laws on the bottom!

Feeding the giraffes is always a highlight at the zoo. I love the look on Noah's face...he was so brave! He just stuck that food right up to the giraffe and was delighted! Mama was proud too!

I know I have disappeared from the blog! We have had an exhausting, crazy three weeks! Joe had another kidney stone which led to another surgery which led to a total of two weeks of my man being laid up! I found out what it was like to have four kids and I mean that in the sweetest way possible! All I can say is that it's not for me! I did want to share the sweetest pictures of our time in Birmingham last month. We had a family reunion on my dad's side. It was so wonderful to be all together. My cousin Matthew has two precious little girls, Lilly and Lucy, who we had never met before. The girls are just a few months younger than both Madeline and Sadie. The reunion happened to fall on the weekend of my dad's 5 year anniversary so that was nice to spend it with his sisters and mother. It is hard to believe that five years has passed without having my dad. He would have been so proud to see all of his family together and all the grand kids. I wish more than anything that He could have been there with us, sharing in the laughter and fun.

Such great pics, Suz! The girls both look so big! Noah is adorable as usual! I'm glad you were able to spend time with your dad's family...I know that was special!
