The Third Annual Ryan Family Marriage Retreat


I have the best in-laws in the world! I am so very blessed to be part of such a wonderful family. This past weekend, Mr. Tom and Mrs. Lula held the Third Annual Ryan Family Marriage Retreat.
The whole family gets together and goes to Maggie Valley and we have a fun-filled weekend where we play games like "the Price is Right" and "The Newly-Wed Game" and have "sessions" where Mr. Tom and Mrs. Lula encourage and impart wisdom to us on various topics such as communication, biblical roles as husband and wife, how to glorify the Lord in our family and this-year's-main-topic-- Child rearing.
We are so blessed by their experience and transparency. They are able to encourage us in things that "worked" for them as parents and things they have learned in recent years that they look back and would have liked to have implemented.
I'm so grateful that the Lord has laid it on their hearts to develop such an enriching experience for us- we have benefited greatly from it!

This was the best picture we could get of all of the babies in their Clemson outfits...

Look at these cute little girlies in their Tiger Cheerleading


Benson and "his" baby...

He wanted to hold her the whole weekend...

He kept saying "baby".. "more"...
