Visiting Family

Family, gives us a sense of belonging, no matter how dysfunctional they may or may not be. We all love our family, and feel at home with them because we belong. It is where we come from, undoubtedly it's where we often return... to visit.

Recently, James and our children took a trip to visit with his family in Wisconsin. This trip was long overdo, as it had been two years since any of us had visited. But as it usually occurs with family, time is of no consequence, you always can 'catch' up and find yourself at ease. At least this is true of most families.
Well, the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as they had cousins to keep company with. Nevermind the ample amount of attention they received from their grandparents, but more importantly they were able to love and appreciate being surrounded by family. It gave them a sense of belonging that especially is misplaced in our military life often, as we are often dispersed far from loved ones close to us.
Thank you my sweet husband for the down time to regroup, relax and take care here at home, while you enjoyed our children with your family! Above all, I thank you for your part in giving me our family. I am blessed to be a part of something so extraordinary.

Happy@Home,
