June 10, 2008 - the First day of Summer

Jacob finished school on Wedneday, June 4th but
Emily's kids weren't done until Monday the 9th. So that Tuesday we went with my sister-in law, Margarida, her daughters, Alessandra and Ayana, and Great-grandma Ridout for a little end of school, first of summer celebration. We eat ate too much food and played extra hard. Emily's sisters-in-law Melissa and(who was in town from Wisconsin) and Kathy also came to visit with their kids. The kids had a great time together and the mom's of course loved the chit chat. Cousins are awesome! Having a family that accepts you for who you are, warts and all, is one of the greatest blessings of life!
