Our little family was fortunate enough to get to visit our family back in the mid-west over Independence Day. Porter and I had not yet met everyone in Luke's family because they're spread out from coast to coast. It was so much fun watching Porter interact with his 14 cousins! He's number 14 of 15...the oldest cousin is in the Airforce and the youngest hasn't yet had his 2 month birthday. I feel so fortunate to be a part of their family. I have to pinch myself during visits with them because I feel like it's a dream that will surely end. I always had the dream of being part of a large extended family, with so many relatives that you lose count. I am the oldest of 6 children in my family as well as the oldest cousin...that goes for both sides. I have one cousin on the maternal side and three on the paternal. And we've always been so spread out it's been difficult to keep in touch. I can not wait for Porter to enjoy all of his relatives!
(In this first photo, we have everyone but 2 of Luke's siblings and their spouses, as well as the newest cousin. Also, note how strong some of the family genes are!)

There are some strong family resemblances there. Luke's dad is taller than him?? Wow. I'm glad you had such a great break and have such a fun in-law family. It really makes life so nice.
Porter is an overfelt! Sorry Steph, but I know what it's like to have your kids look so much like their daddy! I can't wait to see him late next month! We are gonna partay!
