family

I snapped some pictures when I was in Utah visiting family at the time of my uncle's funeral. It was nice to be near everyone again (I'm the only kid who lives outside of Utah), even if for such a short time.

These are my mom, Shelley, her sister April, their mom Sherie, and sisters Danelle and Robinne. These are some of the women who have the same mitochondrial DNA as me, cool, eh?



This is my niece Laurelin, telling a story about unicorns or faeries or princesses. Or all three. The morning I woke up in Utah, Laurelin sneaked into my room and climbed into bed to snuggle with me. Later, her brother Xander climbed into the bed too, and we had a debate about whether dragons or unicorns are the Realest.



And here's my mom, me, and my dad. It's wonderful to know that whenever I can scrounge up enough money for a plane ticket, I am always welcome in their home.
