UP/Merwin for a week!

After the family reunion in Royal I got to fly over to Portland to spend a week with my family both in UP and at the cabin. I had a root canal re-done which served as a wonderful excuse for some time in UP which unfortunately :) meant a week at cabin first. I had so much fun with my parents, sisters (minus brooke :( ), bro-in-law, nephews, niece, shampoo man, and the alligator with the party hat. I not only had fun relaxing time at cabin but I got walks with my mom, a date night with Rach, Annie, Cole, and Dane on B&C's anniversary where we colored a 4 foot Rafael, a super fun Ninja Turtle party courtesy of the Parkers (Cole's 6th birthday), fun times shopping, etc. I love that the home I grew up in is such a wonderful, happy, comfortable place to be and the relationship I have with my family is so amazing! I am lucky to have them and even luckier to have a PERFECT husband who lets me go home while he works to provide for our family (I do work when I can on the weekends:)). Thanks babe and thanks fam--for everything!
