Uncle Phil's & Grandma's Visit

My brother, Phil, came down for the "StrangeFire" Conference at our church in early October.  He only spent one night, but it was so fun to see Julia warm up to him so quickly (she is usually reserved around men, even her relatives).  I wish my brother lived closer...  I love my family!

 

 

In early November, my mom came down for a week.  It was so nice to have her around because it was during Ethan's crazy time at work (Budget time) where he worked late each night and worked on the weekends.  She also came to be a part of Julia's birthday party which was special.  I love my mom and wish she lived closer!
