visiting family

ryan's grandmother passed away a few weeks ago in july.  we spent two days with ryan's family for the viewing and the funeral, as well as a day visiting with ryan's brother, sister-in-law, and nephews since they were in town from north carolina.

despite the circumstances, it was nice to be able to spend time together and to see our nephews.  here are a few pictures from when we got to visit ryan's family a few weeks ago . . .

^say cheese for grandma!  this little guy is such a ham.^

^almost everyone is kind-of-sort-of looking in the same general direction.  we'll just call that good enough.^

^ryan and i made some pasta salad and a lemon bundt cake for our picnic lunch on saturday.^

love, laurie
