This week was a full one - and it's only Wednesday! While Jess has been holding down the fort with our blog I have had the joy of having my parents in town.
No matter how crazy their visit is, when they leave, my mind always goes to my "Wonder Years" in our family. Raising 6 kids with love and laughter in our house could not have been easy. And yet they did it every day without complaint.
They gave me the ability to take joy in taking photographs. From each family trip and family gatherings I remember my dad's slides. He had a film SLR camera and there are boxes of memories from my life that bring joy when I view them. So - thanks Dad for introducing me to photography. And, Mom - for filling our years with memorable moments. I learned from you to enjoy my own family.
During their visit, we had time with Jaime and Thomas. How fun to see her snuggle with Thomas and I can see this joy of family that my mom and dad gave to me growing with her new family. Can't finish this post without a picture from our visit with them...
