Summer Travels-southern California

Sea World

The Killer Whale show with cousin Isaac Zinn. Since the show, Matthew has been pretending to be a killer whale as he dives and twists in the pool...or the bath tub.

The Beach

Family

(Chrissie with cousin Kyle)

We returned today from a two week trip on the east coast with family. We had a wonderful time as evident in Chrissie's smile. She loves spending time with her cousins. And I miss my family.

I miss the late night card games.
I miss hearing my brother serenade Kyle with the "good morning princess song."
I miss Rachel's cooking.
I miss seeing my Dad wrestle with Matthew...and hold Matthew...and love Matthew.
I miss the late night talks with my sisters/sisters-in-law.
I miss Chandra's stories.
I miss Jessica's laugh.
I miss hanging out with Audrey and Kyle, even though they're my niece and nephew, they feel more like a sister and brother. And they make me laugh.
The list could go on and on.
Bottom line: Families are the best.
