Family is best

I live in an area where many families don’t have family close. As in close I mean family more than a direct flight away. We live in an area where my friends say their where family is in Poland , Greece, Philippines, Canada, Florida, Oregon or Croatia. Even though we live an hour away from most of my family, so the day to day weekdays we don’t see them, we get to see some family member on the weekend usually which is really nice. Even some weekends, like this past, where the kids got to spend the night at their cousins Josh and Gracie. We really appreciate the extra few hours of sleep that Auntie Laura and Uncle Eric provided us to recharge after a few months of Andrew waking up between 4:30-5:15am!!! Absolute heaven that many of my friends don’t get because they don’t have amazing family members close that would do that!! HUGE thank you!!  The kids had such a blast too! Addison looks up to Grace so much right now that she wants to be just like her “when she grows up.” We went and say Liam, Isach, and Carly in a Madagascar play and made a trip up to Georgie the horse.
