Weekend pictures

Since I gave up Facebook for Lent, I need somewhere to post all my photos! So this blog is as good a place as any :)

Here are some shots from our trip to Raleigh yesterday. We got to visit with Ryan's grandparents and aunt who were in town visiting. And, of course, we got to see his parents and sisters and their families, including seeing baby Matthew for the second time! And it also happened to be Auntie Ashley's birthday, which we were excited to be there for.

Clara and Luke absolutely love all their relatives and feel right at home at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

This girl loves sunglasses. And her auntie :)

Luke's new obsession is being outside. "Outside! Outside!" is all I hear sometimes

Getting some comfort from her aunt on the "scary" swing

Lukie had no problem climbing all over the playground

Four generations of Nobles men

Auntie Ashley with her nieces and nephews

And two of my favorites at the end... Lukie going down the big slide, all by himself (for the most part)

And my girl... Some of my favorite smiles I've captured of hers are on swings.
