Visiting Family

Growing up we were very involved in our family. It was a very usual occurrence to have aunts and cousins at my house when I got home from school. I loved that! We rarely had a small group of people. Even now, here in Washington we are still the same way. Bringing my kids down to California was wonderful. My kids blended in with all of their cousins like they have always been together. We did a lot of fun things while we were there and we did a lot of visiting my family, I was so very proud of Marisa, Mattias and Jessica. They never complained...they never said 'can we go now' or how much longer are we going to be here?'. And I was waiting for it. They sat with us and answered all the questions my aunts asked and joined in on the conversations. They are good, loving kids.
