Family Weekend

On Saturday we celebrated 91 years of MiMi, Matt's grandmother. How awesome it was to gather in Huntington, WV with all of her grandchildren and greatgrandhildren to wish this wonderful woman a happy birthday! Holly did pretty well despite coming out of an illness and being in the car A LOT. She quickly warmed up and had a blast paying with her third cousins, Katie, Sam, and Libby. And Matt and I had a great time catching up with his cousins and simply being with family. As much as we love living in Atlanta, we realize how much we miss having family nearby.

On Sunday, we made our way over to Ohio to visit with Matt's mom's side of the family. We winded our way through rural mountain roads with full confidence that Google Maps would get us there. But we quickly realized that Google had street names, but the streets we were driving had only numbers. To add to the drama, the gas tank was below empty. But by the grace of God (and Uncle Gary, who came to the rescue) we made it there without a problem. Matt's Aunt Emogene hosted a great gathering of aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids, and even threw a surprise baby shower for Kelly and Megan (by the way, it's a boy!!).

It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but such a great time. I'm already looking forward to next year!
