Family.....

is such an amazing thing, don't you think? Right now Kevin's cousins are visiting us from Belgium. It has been nine years since we have seen them so it is wonderful to have them here. Sure, the house seems crowded with five people and a dog (and various other local family members dropping in) when we are used to it just being us but it is a true blessing to be able to see them considering the many thousands of miles that separate us, and how prohibitively expensive it is for us to go over there at this time. And I am so excited that they will be here for the Fourth of July!!!
