we are family

We've been blessed to have all sorts of family around the last couple of weeks.  We've visited with Auntie Sarah and Uncle Christian and cousin Maxim; the cousins always have a great time together and this trip was no exception.  We just wish we could see them even more often!  Aunt Mackenzie also made the journey down from Vermont for her dad's birthday.  The kids had a good time playing with her; Maxim was especially fond of spinning with her.  Coleson's cousin Jenny and her son Christopher were here too, all the way from New Hampshire.  We enjoyed being trapped in the car with them on the rainy 4th of July and Ryan enjoyed swimming & sliding with them at the pool.  Unfortunately, Coleson got very sick while they were here and we holed up in the house and didn't get to see them as much as we would have liked.  Hopefully they will make it down again next summer!  Love to all of our family and are so glad we got to spend some time together!
