Family Reunion 2015

A few weeks ago, my final week of maternity leave, we flew to Missouri for Drew’s family reunion. Traveling with two small kids is HARD. WORK. I knew it would be, so I spent at least a month strategizing and it took me 7 days to pack. But it was all worth it to see everyone (and I’m talking lots and lots and lots of people), see Harper having the time of her life, and have everyone meet Finn. And eat Grandma’s fresh garden veggies.

Drew’s grandparents graciously hosted us, along with his siblings and their boys. So Gram had all her children and grandchildren under the same roof.

Harper had fun with her cousin Uly, swimming, and playing with all the big kids at the reunion. Finn had fun being kissed and held by everyone and smiling at all the other babies. I wish I could have taken more pictures, but my hands were literally full pretty much the entire time.

This pictures is blurry but I love Harper’s face. She watched all the kids go down the slide and finally got the courage to go down (holding Daddy’s hand.)

This picture was right after she asked me if the mud puddle behind her was chocolate. LOL

Matching suits!

At the end of the trip, we met up with Grandpa Steve for his birthday.
