Well pretty much the whole reason we went out to NY was to see Chris' relatives who we haven't seen for 4 years, since Ashten was a baby. Since we've been married, we have been out every 5 summers, but we figured next summer could be busy with the adoption, so we wanted to make it a point to go this year instead of putting it off. It is nice to see all of Chris' aunts, uncles and cousins that live around there, and of course, his grandma too.
We especially had a good time staying with Chris' Uncle Jim and Aunt Elaine while we were out there. They made such a point of making us feeling comfortable and at-home-away-from-home. Aunt Elaine spent hours before we even arrived getting out all her boys' old Legos so the kids would have something to play with there. And the kids had such a blast building towns and houses and covering her whole basement floor with their creative villages. And every morning she made us a delicious, homemade breakfast! It was a fun place to stay and it was nice to get to know them a little better as well!

It's a little different going now than it was 14 years ago when we were newlyweds, but it's also more fun watching the kids have so much fun and build relationships with their extended family!
