Right after my brother’s baby Sam was born in mid-April, Chelsea and I flew north to Moscow, Idaho to meet the new addition to the family and visit everyone. It was a couple weeks filled with dinners, walks, hikes and bike rides, and plenty of oohing at the newborn. The perfect family visit.

I’m experimenting with shorter, photo-heavy posts on a more frequent basis with my usual posts mixed in. Let me know what you think! Quite the backlog of shots from our travels to work through still since I’ve been so busy. Here are a few pictures from this visit!
