One of my favorite things in life has been having a big brother. And he is the perfect big brother...interrogated Mark when we'd only been dating about 20 minutes, made me laugh when I was trying to be grumpy, and now-is a fabulous father to five little girls, so obviously Mark and I are taking pretty serious notes.
What a treat to have him visit us last weekend! He excels at unclehood just like every other role he is in!
My nephew, Q, decided the day Joel arrived that he was going to go to Wheaton next year. Joel and Melinda (and my Dad and Melinda's husband) are all Wheaton alum, so they made a celebratory "W".
This was our first attempt at a sibling picture. There was one other one but I like having Melinda for a friend and she would never have forgiven me if I posted it. I'm a good sister like that.
Uncle Joel and Baby Reese!
Making the girlies laugh...he is one funny guy.
Snacking with the fam.
More snacking.
See? I told you. Funny guy.
Joel wagered that Mark couldn't get a golf ball to the other side of the river. Of course Mark is always one up for a challenge...(he did it)
So then of course it was game on. Ava was a star cheerleader.
And our last attempt at the sibling picture. Don't mind the fact that I look like I haven't slept in 253 nights. (It's really only been about 56.)
We love you JOEL! So thankful for such a great brother/uncle/friend/pastor/role model in our life!

Yeah for a visit from Joel! Such cute pictures...all of them. Love!
Sounds like you have a really great brother. I love some of your candid pictures of everyone hanging out. The last one with the three of you and the girls is great. And I love Kaiya and Ava's adorable smiles while playing with their uncle. There's nothing better than close family and I can tell you have a great one. Have a great weekend! :)
Good thing Q didn't decide to go to Taylor, although I would have loved seeing you hold him over your head as the top of the T.
Joel sure seems to have a way with the ladies...especially the under five set. :) Glad you had fun!
looks like such a blast! glad you got some good family time! :)
The pictures with Ava and Joel on the dock are precious. I see her more as a future golfer rather than the cheerleader, but she is an encourager through and through. Love the siblings. Wish I could meet them all in person one day.
No matter how many nights you haven't slept your blogs always make me laugh, Heidi.
The girls are adorable!
what a really sweet brother, and a really sweet post!
