This past weekend we got to celebrate Gram's birthday in Tubac, Arizona. Almost all of Marty's extended family on his dad's side came to celebrate!
It was a quick trip--we left Saturday morning and were home Monday night--but it was nice to be able to see everyone and even meet a few of Marty's cousin's I've never met before. The weekend's schedule was loose which left room for a lot of socializing. Emi enjoyed getting lots of attention and wandering along with the other little ones in the group.
I really admire Marty's grandma. She is so kind and genuine. And from what I know, her life hasn't always been a walk in the park, but she has such a good outlook and perspective on life.

The venue. Can you believe Gram planned this party herself? At 88, she even arranged for a DJ to come to her birthday party! |

Angela, Emi, and I went for a long walk around the golf course. It rained a bunch this weekend, but was the perfect overcast walking weather on Monday. |

These golfer boys! Marty and Chris got clubs for Christmas this year, and so naturally they are working on upping their golfing game. |

Emi was so tired by Monday evening. She slept on the flight home, and was being extra cuddly on the shuttle to our car. I love this picture. I have a lot to be grateful for. |
