Chance to Miss

I had the rare opportunity of going to visit my family all by myself. Steve was very gracious to give me five days away and it was fabulous to have a break from responsibility.


I stayed with Scott and Shelley, my brother and sister-in-law, and their three dogs. They live in the small town of Garfield, WA about an hour south of Spokane.



Kady Grindle, my niece at 4 months old.





The Girls (me, Mom, Kady, Valerie, and Shelley)

The Family (minus Steve, at home with Matthew and Tyler, and Shelley who decided one photo was enough)




Valerie, Kady, and I went apple picking. It was a fabulous afternoon. Kady especially enjoyed when we pressed cider.



















She makes the best faces!













I got the best welcome home. The boys tackled me and wouldn't let me go. I felt so loved and appreciated and am convinced that a few days away once in a while is good for all involved!
