It’s been such a blessing to have the opportunity to spend so much time with these creative, engaged, kind and fun children while we are home in Montana.  I love having a niece and nephews (4 boys in their family with the recent addition of another one!) to love and enjoy, and the kids are so happy to play with cousins.  To have a cousin is truly a special thing.  We are grateful indeed, and though we are looking forward to getting back to warm weather and ocean, the kids and I are well aware that it means leaving these kids we love so much.  So I suppose we’ll enjoy them for a couple more months while we can.
