As you can see, I mostly took pics of their crazy adorable lil kids, but I promise most of my time was spent with the big kids. I promise I wasn't following my poor nieces and nephews around begging them to let me take photos. I promise I wasn't the crazy Aunt who kept pleading for a hug every 5 minutes. I promise...
ok... maybe I was all of those things. but I bet when they weren't running away from me, they were loving it as much as I was.
left to right: lil sis Esther, her husband Brian, my oldest niece Anna, and sis-in-law Heather. Just talkin' story under the big tree. love the country.
This was literally my best friend growing up - my big sis Rachel. Love her. Can you believe she has 5 kids? She makes mothering look good!
My #1 role model - mama. one incredible woman. she came to visit me here in california just a couple weeks before I went home. first time I've had her all to myself in my life. Fantastic.
