We get to see our family more during the summer than any other time of the year. Summer is the time when my sister Emily comes with her kids from Texas to visit and we have numerous family get togethers.
This year we have been able to spend even more time with family because of the following: 1) Allison and her family stayed with us while they were in between houses, 2) Emily and her four kids stayed with us for almost two weeks while visiting from Texas, 3) Timmy was blessed, 4) Brian's cousin Vivien was baptized, 5) we had a Cannon family reunion on July 5th, 6) Brian's cousin Xander had a Birthday party, and 7) my cousin Rich was married.
Brian has absolutely LOVED having cousins so readily available to play with. Thanks to Emily I have an overload of fabulous pictures. I am horrible and taking pictures and she is amazing at always having her camera and capturing all those fun moments. I forgot to get the pictures from her from the last few days of her stay, so you'll probably see more cousins pictures when I do finally get those photos. Thanks Emily!

| Brian wasn't the only one who got to play with cousins. With the Cannon family reunion and my cousin Rich's wedding I got to catch up with my own cousins that I haven't seen for a long time. Mark watched all of Emily's kids and Brian and Timmy while we went to the wedding reception. It was so nice to talk to family without worrying about my kids. |
