So thankful for extended fam

I'm working at the garden store today, and the kids are kickin' it with their Grammy, Grampy, Aunt, and Cousin. I love the fact that they can be with family while I work. And that is one reason that I will probably never move out of Michigan--I can't imagine trying to get by without the help of extended family. Moreover, I can't imagine the experiences the kids would miss without extended family around. So there you have it--my first blog post. Nothing too profound, but still, it felt good to recognize in print how important our family is to me and all the kids.
