another update.

Is it really bad if I miss blogging? I am seriously going through withdraws! I found some pictures on my brothers laptop and it gave me the excuse I needed to post another update. Things are going much better... everyone is healthy which makes vacations so much nicer for everyone. Jeremy went home on Tuesday and we're missing him... but still enjoying our time with our families. I think Lincoln is the most homesick of all of us... he keeps asking me when we are going to go "back to our own class in Cleveland because I just miss my friend Chauncey so much." He's so darlin'.One of the highlights of our trip has been playing guitar hero and dance dance revolution on my siblings new systems. I've really had fun getting to know each of my younger (and older) siblings better since it's been so long and they've all changed so much. I've enjoyed spending time with my in-laws as well and am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to have two amazing families that support and love me.The kids have really enjoyed getting to spend time with all of their cousins. I have loved watching them play with each other almost everyday since we've been here. They get along with all of them so well, there have hardly been any fights since we got here... which is amazing since they have been with at least one of them 24/7! This picture is of Jake, Grace, Chloie and Link at bedtime... Jake was reading the a story to help them sleep better.) I have personally enjoyed spending as much time as possible with this little baby girl! Gabbie is such a sweet little baby. If I wasn't baby-hungry before I came here... I sure am now! All of the girl cousins think she's pretty great too... they all decided to gather around her while her parents were trying to take pictures of her on her blessing day. I'm so glad we were able to be here on her special day! I even got to help her mommy, Christy, make her blessing dress. That was very fun for me.

I doubt I'll get to blog again until we get home next week, so check back then! Happy New Year!
