Andrew has a older brother, Jason, who lives in Texas with his wife and 2, grown, kids. When we got married they were unable to come up as he just started a new job. So, I had never met him or his family. His birthday was in August and his daughter wanted to do something special for him. She (tried to) surprise him with a trip up to Michigan to see his family.
He hasn't been up here in around 20 years. It has probably been that long since he saw his parents as well. We were able to set up our spare room with a bed so he could stay with us. It was a crazy couple days spent at my in-laws place; lots of people in a small space! My sister-in-law has 8 kids and Jason had only met 1 of them. It was quite the introduction for him!
I didn't get many pictures. In fact, I only got 1. We all had a great time catching up and getting to know each other. Hopefully it won't be another 20 years before we see Jason again!
How nice to finally meet! Sounds like a fun, family time together. John still has an elderly brother and a younger sister in MI but since we can't travel due to health, it's been many years since we've seen each other. Re your comment on my blog about baking bread, you'll have to share a blog post if you make the pizza dough!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome- what a wonderful thing for his daughter to do!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he was able to come and you could get to know him. I know this was a blessing for his parents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift...so glad you were able to meet him.
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you finally got to meet! He definitely looks like Andrew. :)
