We got back on Saturday from our trip to Texas last week for my family's family reunion, and I can 100% honestly say that I did not want to come home! I am going through some major nieces-and-nephews withdrawals, and I haven't been able to stop talking about missing my family and my sisters ever since we got back. I think Aaron is starting to get a little worried that I won't stop, either, until we find a way to somehow live closer to them... Why do California and Virginia (and/or Ohio) have to be so far apart?!
But meanwhile, to make myself feel better and so I don't get too overwhelmed from the 1000+ photos I took last week, above are some silly photos my sisters and I took at Galveston beach last Thursday. I would say these photos are a pretty accurate depiction of how we act when we are together...so you can imagine why being apart from them is seeming like an absolute crime right now. My only regret is that we didn't get my 4 brothers and mom & dad in on the jumping fun too.... We'll get 'em next time. ;)
I love my family.
what a cute photo. sounds like you ladies and the rest of your fam had fun.
ReplyDeleteawww so cute! family is everything :) being away from family can be hard at times, especially when you come from a big family. i live in houston, tx right now, along with all of my brothers and sisters. my husband and i are moving to san marcos in august and we both know we will miss our families in houston. thankfully they are not too far away! (3hrs) anyway, i love this post! the photos are awesome. looks like yall had a blast! xo
ReplyDeletethese are so so cute.
ReplyDeletethese are seriously so great! the lighting is wonderful! did you edit them or straight from camera??
ReplyDeletethanks, talia! i edited them a bit in photoshop :)
DeleteOh wow! I lovvve these pictures - looks like so much fun! I always wished I had a bigger family - its just me and my 8 year old brother. But I love him to death, I can't imagine living that far away from my family. You're a strong girlie! (:
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute picture! I miss my sister now. And if that makes you feel any better, she is 6000 miles away :( In comparison, yours are not so far! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some family time!
Awww! The pictures are soooo cute! :) I totally get you on missing your family, my sister and her family live 10K miles away :(

ReplyDeleteSuch fun, sweet pictures!
ReplyDeletelove these!! i hate even being across the state from my sister. there is a good chance my hubby and i will have to move out of state come a year from now & though it is exciting, i can barely stand the thought of being far away from my family!!
ReplyDeleteyou guys are adorable! You're so lucky to have such a wonderful family :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy, happy-looking family you have.
ReplyDeleteoh my! amazing pics, you look very happy! ...I know what you mean about missing family, it makes you appreciate them more :)
ReplyDeleteokay, seriously, all of these pictures are just way too perfect for words. it definitely can be hard to be away from family. especially when you are in such a fun environment with them. can't wait to see more pictures! i'm sure there are just way too many gems ;)

jumping shots are the best! i don't think i'll ever tire of them. i hate being so far away from siblings and their babies. every time i get together with my brothers i feel like it's NEVER long enough. glad you got some fun times with yours though! :)
ReplyDeleteyou all look like a fun bunch! sisters are the best. i have one and she lives 3000 miles away. it's not easy, but whenever we do see each other we have the best time together.
ReplyDeleteleyla.
these are so cute! every time we try to do jumping pictures they never turn out! staci is awesome in every pic and i love how natalie's shirt is about to eat her in the last one. haha! also, i said it before, but your romper is adorable!
ReplyDeletehaha i know, staci WOULD be the best at the jumping pics. and my favorite is natalie in the second one. her face is just pure joy, i love it. :)
DeleteThat's a pretty big family! I miss mine as well....they're in Oregon and I'm in Connecticut/soon to be Toronto. It's hard being from family but it makes every little second with them so much better :)

ReplyDeletewhat a fun weekend! Jumping photos are the bomb. Your blog is so adorable- i'm hooked!!
ReplyDeleteAw i love the pics!!! How lovely!!!!xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSeriously awesome. You know what I love, whit? These almost look like Holga shots with the saturation like that. Too cool. :D
ReplyDeleteLooking at these pictures made me realize how much I miss your sisters too! I think we should try and live on the same street as you and Jenna and Tyler, imagine the fun we would have. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteAll of those pictures are too, too cute! But hey, living in completely different states DOES give you an excuse to travel ;)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are awesome - it looks like you guys are having a blast! :)

3 sisters and 4 brothers!? I wish I had a big family like that! And you girls all look so close in age...how fun! :D
ReplyDeleteHaha! So very cute. I have a baby brother. That's one sibling! I can't imagine having 7!! I'm sure you must miss them terribly. Here's hoping you get to be reunited soon :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a blast together. I need to get my sister out doing fun things with me.
