More Family Time

I'm so thankful for my siblings and parents who took time off work earlier this week

 

 

and made the effort to come down and spend some time with us for a few days.

 



 

We celebrated my nephew's fifth birthday a few days early,

 

and we laughed and played

 

 

until we thought we would leave puddles on the floor.

 

We paused on the unpacking and settling in



 

to record our memories so we wouldn't forget the sweet times together.

 

Then we slowly began to disperse back to Kansas

 

and Minnesota



 

and Maine.

 

 

But the sweet memories remained.

 



 

And our roots went down a little bit deeper.





The last thing we did before the final sibling dispersed was to break out the cellos.  Aaron doesn't have his back yet, so he grabbed Katherine's half sized cello and made it sound great. 

 

 

Hardwood floors and no living room furniture

added to our great sound!
