What a week! We started at Lincoln City last Friday. My entire family from Idaho and my Uncle David from Georgia met us there. We stayed in a beautiful house with amazing views of the ocean. On Saturday, my brother, Ben, and his family flew into Portland and drove to Lincoln City. It was so fun!
First of all, I haven't seen Ben and his family for almost three years! Folks, that is far too long to stay away from a sibling. We had so much fun just hanging out and getting to know each other's children. Ben had met Isaiah when he was just a baby, so he met Elias for the first time. Isaiah and Madison (Ben's little girl) were best buds this whole week. They followed each other all over and had lots of laughs. So cute!
We celebrated my Grandpa's, my Uncle David's, and my birthday. It was a bit wild having so many people in one house, but I loved it. The crazy part is that we had five kids ages 3 and under. NUTS!
On Tuesday, everyone headed home, but Ben and Karen came back to Portland with us. We crammed nine extra people in my house for four days! My house is only 1500 square feet! We hung out, ate, went to the zoo, played in the park and just enjoyed each other's company.
I'm exhausted, but I am so thankful for such a wonderful family. They are fabulous, funny, down to earth, and just plain wonderful. I am a blessed woman! I have a million more pictures and more stories, but it's about time my head hits the pillow. More later!
