Going to the Beach with Cousins!

Today we did something that I hope happens more often--enjoying some fun with my nieces!  We went to the beach and afterwards had some great fried seafood...

My nieces are growing into wonderful little toddlers and my daughter had fun hanging out with her cousins!

It was nice to spend some time with my brother and his family.

I grew up spending time with my cousins and I want Matthew to be around his cousins too. I think you build special bonds with cousins. Your beach trip together looks like lots of fun ;)

Grief and missing those we love and still love does not go away with time. It gets a little easier...but it is never truly gone, just like our love for them is never truly gone. I have been down a little lately, I think the change of seasons from…

I could say that I am voting for Hillary Clinton because I am aliberal Democrat.
