‘Family Ties’

A interesting combination of families have begun to fill our lives.  This past weekend, for example, we were visited by several families –  both ours and others.

Lori’s dad dropped her mom off on Friday so she could spend another weekend with her new grandbaby while he attended a conference at A&M.

On Saturday, we met our friend Jason’s family. Jason and Brandon have been best friends since they were kids, which makes Jason’s family sort of like Brandon’s second family, which I suppose ties them to us in some way now, too! Here’s a photo of Jason & Rachael, with Jason’s parents and sister. (Jason & Rachael are the parents of Sam, our favorite over-sized doggie.)

David came to spend the night on Saturday, which is always a treat. Sunday night, he went to his Gramma and Grampa’s, his favorite place to take a bath, as you can see!

Sunday night, Brandon’s mom arrived with her parents, so Caden could meet his ‘great’ grandparents for the first time.

We’ve come to consider Brandon & Lori part of our family, and it’s been really sweet to get to know their families, as they get to know ours.  Fortunately, there’s usually a vacancy at the Matthew B&B, so any and all are welcome! Just be sure to book your reservation in advance.
