We are FAMILY...

Right after getting home from the retreat, we all left to go up to Portland for the next three days. Josh had seminary starting, but we also got some wonderful time with my family! Sophie loves Poppy and Grandma's house. Uncle Dave and Aunt Amy also came up. My Uncle Phil and Aunt Neva were here from Maryland. My Uncle Rick, Aunt Kathleen, Tay, and Eric came over and we all had a mini family reunion...everyone who wasn't there was missed very much. Micah and Heather are starting their teaching year in Germany and Joel and Lauren are still in Maryland with Blueberry. It was so much fun to have everyone together. Sophie, of course, soaked up all the attention she's grown accustomed to.

On our way...



Sophie helping Daddy study for seminary...



And getting her own story too...



She's getting so good at taking bites...



And modeling Poppy's video game headset (she was so pleased)...
