Trip to Indiana





















Happy St. Patrick's Day! & Happy Birthday Avery!

We had a wonderful time visiting Grandpa Brown! We also were lucky to be able to spend some quality time with my cousin Courtney and her children. (Caleb 11, Liberty 7, Ema 5, Avery 2)

I feel truly blessed for my roots. My grandparents on both sides of my family have had a great influence in my life. I look at the trials they passed through (war, The depression, losing loved ones...Through it all they have stayed strong and faithful.)

We visited with my cousin Kim and her daughter Paige. We saw Karen and her son Derek and his wife Toti and their daughter Alexandria. We drove out to my Dads grave site at Gardens of Memory.

Spring Fever!

Love.
Brent, Celeste, Emma, Isaac, & Ethan


Ok , Ok So I have been getting some flack for not updating our family blog in such a long time. We are getting really excited for SPRING!! To feel the warmth of the sun, to spend hours outdoors, playing at the park, and just enjoying time together! We have planned a family spring break trip we are all looking forward to. We will be picking up Grandma Aleen at the Omaha airport. We will then continue driving on to Indiana to visit Grandpa Max Brown. We are looking forward to introducing Grandpa to Ethan, his great-grandson who he has yet to meet! I am so excited to hear stories of my Dad's youth. Grandpa is an amazing story teller! We are also hoping to make connections with my cousin Courtney Brown Jenkins and her family. Grandma Aleen will then return home with us and spend and extra 4 days with us which will include celebrating Easter and Ethan's 1st Birthday! What a great time!!
