i’ve been quiet on here… but for good reason! family has been in town and goodness has it been nice. we’ve sat and drunk coffee, we’ve had lots of cousin-bonding time (see above!), we’ve gone out for burgers and beers, we’ve gone to barre classes together, watched movies, had dance parties, we’ve celebrated birthdays (lindsey is THIRTEEN), walked in town, dreamt up travel plans, and we’ve doted on the sweet new addition to the family–anders! parker has requested mame and foot rubs at bed time every night (and this is after, over the last few months, i’ve tried to give him foot rubs only to be told to “do it like mame does!”). and there’s something really wonderful about your parents and your kids having a special relationship… especially when those parents don’t live nearby. it seems that now we’re just picking up right where we left off, and i like it that way.
love you guys. thanks for coming.
One of the best reasons for being quiet in the internet world. I'm happy for you and your family for having a good time, dance parties with the family are so great and they fill my energy up 😉 Have a good week!
awe sounds likes a blast! 🙂

Dance parties sound like fun! Isn't family the best?
So awesome you have such great extended family! I love watching my son's relationship bloom with my oldest, dearest friends — I imagine if one had a non-crazy extended family, it'd be a similar feeling, and even more powerful.
How do you like barre classes? I've been thinking of trying one once my guy goes to school in September — I love yoga and loved ballet as a kid. And I need some serious muscle strengthening. Any particular brand/company you'd recommend? (Or if you have a post on it, I'd be happy to be directed there too!)
Again, so happy to hear you got to soak in the goodness of family. Hurrah!
