Extendo Family

This weekend we had a wonderful surprise visit from one of our favorite little families, the LaPointe-Goodwins! Renee is mama to two little ones, Kayah age 7 and newborn Gabe. They have been living in Montana for a few years with Renee's husband, Dan, who just graduated from boot camp in Georgia and is now training in Alabama. Renee brought the kids down to see their daddy and then stopped by the homestead on the way to see her family in Connecticut.

So what makes this little family one of our favorites is the fact that Kayah is Noah's half sister (same biological father). They have known each other since Kayah was born, and even though Kayah and Noah both have amazing (step) daddys and new younger siblings, Renee and I strive to keep Noah and Kayah as in touch with one another as possible. So we were thrilled when we found out they were stopping through, if only just for a night. We had a great visit and were sad to see them go.
