Trip to Ohio!

I'm so glad that Rachael's family lives in Ohio. It's SOO much closer to PA than Indiana. It has been at least 4 years in a row that I've spent part of Christmas break with the Stricklands. It was only about 12 hours this year, but they were precious hours.

Rachael is my kindred spirit. It was so amazing to see her. I wish we would have had time to have deep conversation, but anytime with her is good. Next time I see her, she might be HUGE or I might get to be holding the little one! I'm also this baby's aunt. Biologicially-No. Hand Chosen-Yes. :-)

Ben, Rachael, Baby Strickland and me!

Mommy and Baby Strickland!

I didn't get to see Joyce on this trip to Ohio. I miss her a ton too. Hopefully soon.
