Cousins

This is the first layout I've made of our very special Christmas this year...and it doesn't look Christmasy. I just couldn't help it. The picture  just didn't lend itself to all the red and green, etc.

It was so good to get these kids together. It has been 5 years. That means Mason was 10, Caleb was only 2 and Oliver had not yet been born. Mason lives in Tennessee. Caleb and Oliver live in Colorado. What a wonderful surprise it was to have them all here!

I often tell the story about how Ron always told our children that we would take care of them, but when we are old, they will need to take care of us... He must have scared them because they all grew up and moved far away.

We would love to have them all near-by or even within a few hours drive, but it will never be, so we need to make the best of it. We do use FaceTime with our phones and computers. Perhaps we should use a conference hook up where several families can visit at one time. Sounds like something to look into.
