Family time [lately]














Special family moments lately have included impromptu dance parties with Uncle Zach and Uncle Stu featuring rappers we don't know however they do try to keep us current. Ha - #nearly30! We love hanging with our favorite little bros and dance parties around here! 

And Wren also got to meet her great-grandaunt, Marian and cousin, Laura this month. I just looked up the correct terminology for the genealogy and although I'm from the camp that typically says great aunt, 'grandaunt' I can remember because Marian is certainly grand. Many of us from my dad's side of the family gathered at my aunt Kack's house to visit while they were in town visiting from Missouri. It was a special time to catch up and reconnect - the kind of time that just makes your heart swell. 

And if you're Wren it's just the right chunk of time to learn how to climb up in an adirondack chair by yourself, get Uncle Tyson to help you catch a lizard to pet, cuddle up on all the grands, have a no-nap meltdown and learn how to ride down Wilder's roller coaster. 

We are so grateful for such special families.

Be our...











Maybe after our nap would be a better time to ask, but we wanted to be first in line. Daddy, will you be our Valentine? In our best moments (not pictured) we can be nice and share. 

P.s. Thank you for my new-to-me church pew. I really love it even with a cranky little bird on top!

Memory lane







































Thank goodness for iPhones always on the ready because this time next month, little bird, you'll be right on the heels of 1 1/2 years old. That's one WHOLE and HALF of ANOTHER WHOLE! This post is mainly for me I suppose, but I will do what I can to help memory lane always be a sweet ride for you.
