Georgia Vacation, the Final Installment: Family Time

My favorite thing about visiting Georgia is, by far, being with my family. I love 'em. My growing up years were so happy. And I miss all these guys when I'm not with them.

Me, Bri, and Jenna

Jenna, Me, Kaylyn, Brianna, and Rebecca. We went shopping together. Can you tell? Shopping with your peeps is so much better than going it alone.

Shauna and her little peanut.

Leah

Russell and Emilee

Addison and Ryan. Those two played and played and played.

Addison gave Grammie a private piano recital.

At Grandma M's house. She had this little chair when I was little, with a doll named Sara in it. The kids loved both. They fought over who got to sit in the chair, in fact. Leah won for the most part.

Speaking of Grandma M., I found this little gem while rifling through our piano books in search of inspiration for my students. This book has the name of each of the ten kids in my family. We all used it! Blow it up big and find 'em, if you so desire. Jenna's is in pink crayon, but it's there. Grandma taught almost all of us to play the piano. For no charge. And she provided the books. That's a lot of Saturday mornings with a lot of wiggly little kids. But she did it and has blessed so many lives directly and indirectly because of it.

The fam and Grandma M.

The kids and Granma J. We had a wonderful visit with both of the Grandmas.

The stay-at-homers, minus Dad. Ryan, Mom, Kaylyn, Jenna and Bri, who is leaving for a mission to Brazil in just a few weeks!

Bryn got a little sleepy.

Shauna and Leah.

Hanging out and chewing the fat by the pool. Kaylyn, Jenna, Dad, Mom and Shauna.

Beck and Ben. I'm so glad they came too!

And that, my friends, is our Georgia vacation in a (somewhat large) nutshell.
