This weekend, we were able to go to my sister and brother-in-law's baby shower. It was at his parents' house, and my family was also able to come. It was the first time since Christmas, and probably the last time before Josh and I leave for the Race, that my whole family was together. I did my best to soak it all in and enjoy every minute of it.
Do you ever have a moment, when you look around at the people you care about, and try to imprint that moment in your memory forever? I had one of those moments this weekend. It was not long after my family had arrived, and we were all hanging out on the deck outside. My sister, Tyler, and his sister Whitney were walking down the hill, and they were all smiling, talking, and enjoying each other's presence. My sister, Shelby, was on the driveway practicing her hula hooping tricks (she is really good!), while Tyler's baby cousin watched and laughed in delight. My Dad and Josh were standing in the driveway, deep in conversation, and my Mom and my brother, Drake, were sitting next to me. It was one of those happy heart moments.
Here is a video that I put together to capture the moments of the day. It was such a fun and joy filled day, and I'm sure that everyone will remember it as a good one.
