Craving Family

I know, it's a weird title. I don't know how to describe today. There isn't anything significant to share that happened, nothing that "spurred" the feeling, but today, I crave family. I follow one of our cousins blogs, and this morning, I loaded my RSS feed with anticipation, but he hadn't posted yet. Sean, where were you? At any rate, by this afternoon he had. I read each word, enjoying envisioning him telling me about his day, in the way he smiles, and smirks, and ... well... is family. I wanted to see the aquarium he had photographed. I wanted to wander in their for hours looking at the tanks.

By the way, his blog is the most significant thing

He really writes in a style I like, personable, friendly, like someone you know. But, I do know him, he's our cousin, and I'm looking forward to seeing he and his wonderful family soon... maybe sooner than later, at least today, since I'm craving family.

Holidays have come and gone...

The holidays have come and gone... well, for most of the modern world anyway. In our house, we pretty much are in celebration mode from Thanksgiving through Valentines, so I'm in our home stretch. LOL

But I digress... I actually came to post to say that we had a FABULOUS time in Las Vegas where we traveled to spend time with family. We didn't gamble a penny, but had much fortune just spending valuable time with family that we don't see nearly as often as I'd like. Everyone was in generally high spirits, we missed a few people due to scheduling conflicts (and babies coming) but nothing you can't have a perfect holiday every year, right? ;)

Well, to those of you we didn't see this year, best wishes for the new year. Hopefully our in person paths will cross and we'll get to catch up soon.
