I have been abundantly blessed to be a part of a large family - one that is closer than most families and has a strong foundation of two incredible people.
These people are my grandma and grandpa. They raised 7 sons together - all are married with families of their own - and with our growing and expanding family, I have watched them beam with pride of the family tree that started with just them.
Andie has a special connection to the number 11.
{Thanks for figuring this out mom}
She was born on May 11th.
She was born to my grandparent's 11th grandchild (me).
She is the 11th great grandchild.
She is the 11th member of my parent's immediate family.
So, it was only fitting that she met her great grandparents on the 11th day of her life!
This was so special to me. My grandparents are two of the most incredible people I know... people like them are rare. They truly have set an example for how I strive to live my life. I can't express how many hundreds of people cherish them in our community... they're just good people with big hearts. TL and I both hope to follow the example they have set... valuing people, experiences, and life.
We are so lucky to have them in our lives!
{Aren't they just the cutest!!}

We LOVE them!

I feel the same way about my grandma and grandpa, just being the strong root of our family and being such genuinely good people, it's a blessing to have a family like that! Also, you look incredible lady, like no one would even guess you JUST had a baby!

So cool! I love fun number stuff like that :) What a blessing to have a huge family - I do as well, and it's simply the best! She is loved by so many already.
I've always been jealous of people with big families - mine is very small, so it's definitely something that I love when other people share about theirs! You are such a gorgeous family. Every post that you write, I find myself going, "Aww!" to :)
