someone in louisville loves you

the day after awards day we had visitors arrive. uncle michael and auntie hallie stopped by kentucky for a visit! it was their first time in kentucky...and (i'm ashamed to say it) in our home. to say we had a good time would be an understatement. we crammed so much into a few short days.

they played endless games (both kid and adult).
they wrestled and sword fought.
they read books.
and took walks
and had starbucks runs.
and we even cheered at horse races.
the best way to describe it? they gave generously to us. with their resources, with their time, with their love.

we love you michael and hallie...and hope we can be together again soon!


p.s. i just had to include this picture. i love it so much! i snapped this of the two of them walking hand in hand at churchill downs. i love that soph wanted to hold hallie's hand and walked that way for a while. but what makes this picture even more special is that sophia is wearing the dress that alaythia wore to michael and hallie's wedding. but can you see it? the dress is now a part of hallie's life at a different stage...and we couldn't be happier! :)

Um, okay, I think I'm seeing what you're referring to in that last statement/picture, but I don't want to type it just in case I'm completely misunderstanding.... But, yay for them! :)

Thanks for continuing your blog. Its so much better than the freeway called FACEBOOK.
I feel like I'm in a peaceful country meadow far away from the big city when I come to your blog. It truly refreshes me.
