It's 10:30 a.m., it's about 32 degrees with gentle falling snow. It's a winter wonderland outside and it is truly gorgeous. Rico and I are enjoying the weather, while my cousins Mike and Wendy are so very tired of it all. Wendy said this has been one of the coldest and snowiest winters ever and now that it is the end of March, they are so ready for the Spring, but Rico and I are happy Spring has not yet arrived. We're about to bundle Josh up a little and take him outside on the back deck to play in the snow. I'll take some pictures and post them later.
My auntie's party is at 3:00 today. About 80+ people will be there today, 2/3 of them are all my cousins, it will be lots of fun and probably a little overwhelming especially for Rico. We decided that each first cousin (there are 10 of them) should have a colored name tag and each member of their family should wear that color with their name on it so we can tell who goes with who. I think that's a great idea.
Our trip yesterday was surprising easy. Aside from lugging tons of luggage, two babies, a stroller and two carseats, it all went surprisingly smooth. Our plane ride was smooth, we had two isles to ourselves, so Katie was able to stretch her legs, and our seats had plenty of leg room too. On top of all that, both kids slept most of the way, so it was really quite plesant. Mike and Wendy met us at the airport, we rented our 4 wheel drive Ford Expedition and took our 5 minute drive to their house. After a little wine and cheese, we are all off to bed, and now here we are. Josh has befriended Wendy and Mike has befriended Katie, so Rico and I find ourselves both in a recliner in the living room with the tv on and our hands free, watching the snow fall gently outside...so I must say...life is very good....more later....
