Rock climbing, with a long prologue

Did I mention Jacob's brother is staying with us for a little while? And that his fiancé flew out to visit for the weekend a couple of weeks ago? And that they have to live in separate states for the fall semester of school? But that come December, they will be getting married and get to live in the same state?  Maybe not. More on that later. But what in the world does that have to do with rock climbing? Glad you asked.

When Kaylie was here visiting, she and Adam, along with Jacob and the kids, went rock climbing. Since Nate hasn't quite mastered the art of climbing rocks (everything else in the house, yes, but large boulders, no), I stayed home with him.

And as you can see below, from the fabulous pictures Kaylie took (thanks Kaylie!), they had a great time. The three oldest kids made it to the top and back down again. And Ben, true to his adventureous self, made it very close to the top. And Jacob is just wonderful and handsome.  And Kaylie and Adam are fabulous. Which is why I need a photo of them. How I got through the whole weekend without one of those is beyond me. I plan to remedy that the second the two of them are together in Boston again.

Until then, we'll just focus on these fabulous rock climbing photos. And be glad we have fun uncles and future aunts that are exciting and fun and invite us to be exciting and fun along with them.
