They're Closer!

 

 

One of my sisters moved closer than her previous 18 hours away! More like 6  now- hurray - we accept!

My sister will not like the below photo of herself but it is the perfect capture of her laugh - Eyes closed, head leaning back with mouth exuding the most delightful, infectious laugh alive.

 

For some reason learning about the new gifted bread maker is hilarious to her and the unseen photographer, me.

My parentals along with my kiddos and I journeyed north-ish (I'm geographically/directionally challenged) to help her and her family unpack. Thank you brother-in-law for getting a job so close!

Cute grandchildren ready to party -

Cuddling with their pillow pets Papa surprised them with.

More pillow pet love.

 

The following are more photos of our mother trying to share her knowledge of the new bread maker with my sister.

This is her.... hmmmmm... how exciting is this moment face :)

(Mom, she really did appreciate it and thinks the bread maker is the coolest gift ever. Because it is! We are just dorks and rapidly digress in age back to the time of our teenage hood.
But, I promise your schooling is mostly always desired.)

This is my mom's "Come on now daughter, pay attention face" accompanied with the "let's focus arm on the back gesture".

 

She still loves her obnoxious children. Thank you Mom.

A little decorating -



 

 

 

And it wouldn't be a visit without cute baby/cousin bath time!

 

 

 

Being together with just my parents and this one sister is an easy role to fall back into. I have three older sisters and we were all born in 4 year increments. Me, being the baby and this sister being the one directly older than me - so basically for the second decade of my life it was just the four of us in the household.

There's a certain dynamic that's familiar and fun.

So  - Sister #3 - so glad your closer!... and this ones for you.

Luke, I am your father.
