All The Baileys Are Together Again

Ty comes from a larger family of seven kids. He has 5 sisters who live in the area and 1 brother who moved from the area to Arizona about 4 years ago. We were so grateful that they were there when we had to go to Arizona to adopt our sweet baby. It was such a comfort to be able to stay with family and have there support during that transitional time. We don't get to see Ty's brother Tor, his wife Mandy and their six children, Paige, Drew, Cole, Taylor, Emma and Blake very often. In fact we hadn't even met the newest additon little Blake who was born in April yet. This last week they all flew up here to visit. Not only to visit but to have some appointments for their little girls Taylor and Emma who are joined at the heart. They are such precious little angels and have been such a miracle to all of us in their family. They are now 2 and it is amazing to see their growth. We hadn't seen them since they were seven months old when we visited them in Arizona. It had been almost two years since Ty's whole family got together. We were able to get together for a family dinner one night and then our annual Bailey Pumpkin Carving/Halloween party this last Saturday night. It was so much fun to all get together and hang out again. It also made Ty so happy to get to spend time with is only brother again. It reminded me what is important in life and that family is the one thing constant. No matter where you all live, you family will always be there.:) Here are a bunch of pictures from our weekend.Ty and little Blake. Isn't he a cutie!:)Mandy, Taylor and EmmaTy and Tor playing Wii.

I have to add in a funny little story that went along with this. Ty's uncle Alden went into the room and frosted a cookie.
