Family

My parents are in town for a week, from last Wednesday to this coming Wednesday. Katie is floating with the clouds. To her there is simply no one in this world better than Grandma and Papa. It is a special thing to see her face, and my parents faces, light up each time they see each other. They stayed at a friends house for the last few nights, and helped them with there garage sale. Katie spent Friday and Saturday over there with them, and quite simply had the time of her life.

Family is a great thing. We miss my parent, they moved to Florida when they retired, but as we have learned quickly, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and each visit now contains a hugely special memory that we can cherish.

We are going to dinner in Mexican Town with my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my aunt and uncle, there son and his wife, another of there sons and my Grandma (or Nana as we call her.) My aunt and uncle and cousins all live in Canada, and Nana lives in Florida, not to far from my parents, so we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like. I plan on taking lots of pictures today, and I'll post them once I get them developed.
