Thankful for In-laws

|
Joe's family would be called close. There are 4 kids who are all married and each have 2 kids with the exception of his sister Teresa, who is due with their 3rd in March. We are close to his parents and really love the way they are as grandparents. Joe's parents have been married over 39 years and have a very strong faith life too. They are both retired and currently love to travel when they aren't watching the grandbabies, volunteering at church, or staying active. They love our kids and our kids adore them back!!
Joe had 2 sisters and one brother. He is the baby of the family. Joe sister Teresa, pictured with her family here, is 18 months older then Joe and has 2 boys (and a girl on the way). Her boys are around a year apart from our 2 boys. It's great for us to get them together and play as well as share parenting thoughts and ideas. Her hubby Eric also happens to be Joe's best friend from college and former roommate.


Joe's sister Carrie, pictured here with her family, is the oldest of the kids. She has a wonderful sense of humor as does her hubby Murphy, and we really admire the way they look at life. They love with big hearts and lots of laughter. They also happen to be Jack's Godmother and Luke's Godfather.

Below here is Joe's brother Tom and his family. Tom is the second born in the family and loves the MN Twins. He is married to Amy (so we have the same name). We don't see them as much as life can be busy :)

Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog. Yes, the ornaments do ship! They hold up very well in shipping, especially at this time of year. They are just so beautiful.
