Cousins!!

The past week can be summarized by : cousin time! We had a great time seeing Darren, Pam and Jesse and Luci as they were in town for the week. Its always great to catch up with Darren and Pam, but it was also so fun to see how much Jesse and Luci have grown up! It was fun to watch Jesse and Gavin have fun and play (and Ben!) and Luci is a funny little British girl...her accent is great! We also had fun seeing more of Ben, Addie and Sarah (and Mark) than we usually do. Addie loved Violet and V was very responsive to Addie. We loved swimming in Nana and Papa Dan's pool Tuesday and Friday - its a salt-water pool which makes it easier to handle for long periods of time. The kids all played really well together and I'm so glad they got time together as we won't see our London family until next July....unless we win the lottery and can afford to fly there! :-)

The bribe of a cupcake makes for the sweetest smiles...we are only missing our 8th cousin...currently still in Sarah's belly...just waiting for his/her entrance!

We attempted to get a "whole" family picture...wow. Quite difficult. I like the chaos this picture shows, because that's realistic. We have 3 pics with all of us in it (dan is missing in this one) and none of them are just right..either eyes are closed or faces are weird.

And speaking of cousins...we are excited to have another GREGORY cousin.......YAHOO!! Jason and Angela are expecting their first baby in Feb and we can't wait!!!!!!!!

Our kids have been the only ones my side of the family, so this is especially exciting. Jason and Angela live close by and I can't wait to meet my new niece/nephew! They are going to be amazing parents.
