Gabe and have been so lucky to have many visitors from the south venture all the way to our part of the world, and it is such a special thing to really show them our life in the Pacific Northwest that we have created for ourselves. My brother and sister in law are people I LOVE being around, and I am so lucky to feel the same way about Gabe's brother and his wife as well.
With that being said .... I am still bursting at the seams since Jordan, Arrie, Griffin (2 1/2 yrs), and Gracie (9 wks) came to Seattle! My brother juggles a career, getting his MBA at SMU, and has a family at home wanting his attention creating a busy busy life. The only Saturday he didn't have class .... he came to visit little ole' me in Seattle, and I am SOOO appreciative.
Our long weekend could not have been more perfect
as I got to LOVE over them all! Meeting Gracie for the first time ...
Melts my heart. Isn't the lovely~!!
It's a lot of work to travel with two kids - Love you for it sister!
Gabe teaching Griffin thumbs up!!
*thumbs and pointer finger are almost the same, right?
Griffin thought the world of his Uncle Gabe
Like father ... Like son ;)
Waiting for our burger from Redmill - Best burger in Seattle
Popping over to Bainbridge Island (by ferry) for a mini adventure
Gabe is going to be an INCREDIBLE dad
as this weekend solidified what I always thought would be true!
I miss you seeestor (fancy way to say sister!)
Thanks to Google, we found the biggest and fanciest park!
Arrie said she's never seen anything like it -- Look at this face, GB must concur!
Sweet Lugar's
Heading back to Seattle
Stunning - Mt. Rainier
The most gorgeous city in the world!
Our days were filled with lots of laughter and thankfulness for quality time together. Isn't family the best!

Awe, looks like you have a great family!
Very, very sweet. You all are adorable and I love the G names.
What fun! Griffin and Gracie are so cute. All these pictures make me want to visit Seattle, it looks amazing!
We LOVED visiting you. You and Gabe are the best hosts and we look forward to many more visits now that we know it isn't THAT hard to travel with the kids. Maybe a warm visit next time?!? LOVE
Very nice! Whenever our family from California comes to visit they always love it. We are on Fidalgo Island right near the water and it truly is a little bit of heaven :)
Nice weather for this time of year? That is always good when hosting family.
We are in Iowa right now and it was 67 today. But I still can't wait to be home in Washington in a couple weeks!
Blessings and Happy Week!
Looks like you had an awesome time! What a gorgeous family you have. :D
Love the park pictures! There's nothing like family!
It sounds like such a blast! And those kiddos are just adorable. Love your LV bag!
I love the picture "Like father, like son," so cute! And I'm totally jealous of your bag! I can't wait to order my first one! =)
What a great time you had! :)
we used to have a park like that in dallas... the castle park and it was amazing... but they tore it down! glad to know some places still have them :)
Love it! Looks like a great time! Your niece and nephew are adorable!
Battlepoint Park is Lil' Joe's favorite park too! Looks like you guys had fun! :)
A great family is such a blessing, and you sure look blessed! I'm so happy for you and the great time you have with those loved ones :-)
I totally agree. It is so nice, when you live far away, for people to take time out of their schedules to come visit. I realize I live in a part of the country that people love to visit (FLORIDA), but still it is a nice cure for homesickness.
I love the thumbs/pointers up picture!
That thumbs up picture CRACKS.ME.UP. griffin is sooo cute! So is that handbag !
such cute pics--what an adorable family you have... and those babies--SOOOO sweet!!!
How sweet! That is so wonderful they were able to make the trip to come see you!
Family IS the best. Always. :)

Hi! I'm new to your blog. I'm from Texas, but moved to Seattle just after I graduated from A&M. I lived there six months and LOVED it. I think I left part of my heart there. I moved back to TX, met a wonderful guy and fell in love. We now live in a little town northeast of Dallas. I'm excited to keep up with your adventures in the PNW. Seeing your photos of the city, makes me miss it so much! Cute blog!!! I'm now following :)
