Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Cousin fun

We were so lucky this weekend to get a visit from David's cousins, Stephanie and Dianna and their kids. Unfortunately I was so busy having fun and soaking up the company that I did not get even ONE picture! But this picture from the band reunion is pretty close....


Dianna, Stephanie, David
Miranda, Myranda
Cassie, Meg
Tali, Melody, Ben
and Morgan!


Not seen in this picture, but who did come to visit, is Jake, Stephanie's son. Melody was spending time with her Grandparent's so couldn't make it out to our place this time.

The kids had tons of fun playing, swimming in the lake, singing and hanging out watching movies. We really enjoyed visiting with and for me, even just getting to know Stephanie and Dianna and the kids.

I will never forget when the adults were having a chat in the living room while we thought all the kids were playing upstairs. Next thing we knew, Morgan was running in the front door with a big bucket yelling "I caught a snake, I caught a snake!" He had such a proud, excited look on his face. And sure enough there was a pretty good size garter snake, looking a bit irked, in the bucket. Soon Morgan had every one's undivided attention as he grabbed it out by the tail and held it aloft for admiration... I'm wondering how many of you possibly heard the resulting shrieks, OK screams, which that elicited.

Thank you so much for driving out and coming to see us. We had an AWESOME time and look forward to doing it again soon!

Yes, we heard the screams, scared all the racoons out of the woods. Sounds like great family times.
