The Richardson family consists of 4 members, two of which are incredibly adorable. Sorry Mary Kate and Steve but the adorable ones are Quinn and Connor. Mary Kate is my stepsister and we have known each other most of our lives, even before we were related we were dancing together at Miss Bev’s. I always felt really close to Mary Kate. It’s hard for me to call her Mary Kate because for sooooo long she was Katie to me, but I guess Mary Kate just sounds more grown-up now or something haha. Anyway, I think part of the reason I felt so close to Mary Kate was she was the closest in age to me and we also went to the same college- yeah Geneseo!!! Since college she moved out to California where she met her awesome husband Steve. They now live near Seattle with the amazing sons- Quinn who is 3.5 years old and Connor who just turned 1 year old. I have yet to meet Connor but through Mary Kate’s amazing photography skills I feel like I already know him, and I have had a chance to meet Quinn but really have been able to watch him grow through the wonderful pictures. Well hopefully that can change and they can either make a visit home this year or I can make a trip out there. I mean the train ride is probably only like 3 days right?!?!?! Until then I hope these cookies find the Richardson family well and that they show how much I love and miss them all!!!
