Weekend.

We went to baby Rindy's blessing on Sunday. I should've thought about bringing a change of clothes for the boys, and for us, but I didn't. We still had a ball playing with cousins and enjoying how gorgeous their property is. They have horses, a sweet dog, a gorgeous willow tree in the backyard. What more could you want?! The boys were in heaven. We even got to catch a few frogs. Then Danny jumped into the muddy canal with his church shoes on. And that was good.  

This is cute little Annie -- Danny's twin (we think!). She is so saucy! And that curly hair! I followed her around all afternoon taking pictures. 

Stacey and Rindy! So sweet!

Mecham Family Reunion.

It was so fun to spend a few hours with this side of the family and watch our kiddos play together. My grandpa surprised us all by inviting our grandma to the reunion, too, even though they've been divorced for years and this wasn't her side of the family. It makes me emotional when I think about the special opportunity we had this day to have a big family picture together with both our grandpa and grandma. This has never happened before. I remember when we were little, all of us girl cousins would use our birthday candle wishes to wish that they would get back together someday. Obviously I know this will never happen, but it was so nice to have both of them at the same function.I will treasure these pictures for years to come.

As we set our kids up all in a line, I thought over and over as we all stood back and took pictures: look at our treasure. Our sweet, sweet children.

Parties and more parties...
