Some photos of family in North Carolina
Alex and I arrived at my cousins’ house near Asheville a few days early and helped get the house ready for a family reunion. We also helped fetch and split three truckloads of firewood from a tree that a friend of theirs took down in town.

As you can see, making food in my family is always taken very seriously.
Here Popsie, Tressa, Carol, Lynn, Charis, and Krista are making Chinese dumplings, and Dad and Jill are taking a break from husking corn.


Aunt Alice is knitting on the patio

The kids spent lots of time running around outside

They also turned the library into the headquarters of their semi-secret club/society of the “Meeps”


The morning before the biggest gathering, Dru, Ken, Lynn, Alex and I went to Mt Mitchell (highest point in the Eastern US) and took a very short hike to the next peak over (Mt Craig).
