It can be somewhat isolating living here in Alaska. While much of our family lives here, a lot of our extended family lives in the lower 48. I feel really lucky that we were finally able to put together a trip to see some of them. First we visited with Rob's grandmother, aunt (Hi Pat!), and cousins in Arkansas:
Then we drove down to Tyler, Texas to spend a few days with my grandparents (who I hadn't seen since Avery was just 6 weeks old):
My grandma makes Martha Stewart look like an amateur. Her entire home features beatiful things she's made, like this kitchen island decorated with print blocks she saved from her father's shop. |
We had some much-needed family time together. But now we're glad to be home. One of the best parts of getting back was opening the mail that was waiting! I've got a couple of super cool things to share later once I get my camera battery charged up!

That kitchen island is something else--super fantastic use of vintage type.
So funny! I love Tyler, my great aunt and uncle used to :( live there, too.
what a fun trip. I just love little kids on horses. Makes me want to get a pony for the backyard or something.
(and that kitchen island is so cool!)

Love that quilt. DO NOT love that spider. Geeshh.
That spider caused a full-body shudder over here. Ugh. But great photos otherwise! I want to live at your grandma's.
