siblings and siblings-in-law

We really enjoyed our time with Jacob's brothers and their spouses while we were in DC. One of the highlights of the whole USA trip was meeting our sister-in-law Ashley (below), who married Jacob's youngest brother Jared while we've been in England. She's fabulous!Jacob's older brother Jon and his wife Micaela and their kids Jacob and Emily (plus one on the way!) also live in the DC area, so we got to spend time with them.And Joel (who falls between Jacob and Jared), along with his wife Emily and their daughter Brinly (plus one on the way!) visited from Ohio while we were there, and we were so glad they made the trip!The above photo was taken while we enjoyed paddle boating. As always, it turned into a game/competition with the football and splashing. Here are more photos of the fun.During Hurricane Irene Jacob initiated the creation of a 100-foot slip n slide, which was lots of fun. I especially love the brotherly togetherness in some of the photos and with the endeavor in general.

I know that jealousy is bad, but I am sooooo jealous! I miss my family :)
