It All Started With a Phone Call... "Do you want to go?": Pictures From Home

There was so much to cram into two weeks... and so many people I wish I had seen. But mainly, I filled up my family love tank. Here are a few of the special people I got to spend time with. (There were several that I didn't get pictures with, and this makes my heart sad!)

Hanging with my favorite giant-of-a-nephew. He's grown up so much in the months that I've been gone. Jed has gone from the baby that made my heart explode as a first-time aunt, never knowing it was capable of loving someone that much, to being a 13 yr old black belt, with his eye on a bid for the White House. So proud.

My MVCC Sisters <3

I mean, come on... who doesn't want to come home to these two? My biggest fans, my rock-solid foundations. And, my dance partners :)

The little sister, and the goddaughter! Riding shotgun again, never felt so good.

Beaching it up with the BFF! Seriously - such a cold and rainy day. But together.

The one with whom my soul breathed it's greatest sigh of relief.

Family Picture Outtakes. Whenever did we go from five to fifteen?!

Sisters!! There aren't enough sappy quotes on the internet to express the gratefulness in my heart for the way that God grafted these two into our family... and into my sister void.
