Cousins Came for Visit

Two weeks ago I realized if my youngest sister Jennifer did not come for a visit soon, she would not be able to come. You see, she and her husband Rob are expecting their 4th and Goal in September. Plus, she starts her new teaching job the first Monday in August......AND they have to run over to Minnesota at the end of July. The time was right.......and it gave her a chance to travel in her new car.

~~~~~~~~~~~


I have two sisters.....and a bunch of nieces and a few nephews:





Teresa, two years younger than me:
Alexis 20 years
Venice 15 years
Kaydance 11 years


~~~~~~~~~~~



Jennifer, about seven years younger than me:
Hudson 6 years
Avery 4 years
Carter 2 years this month
Baby, aka 4th and goal (dad's a football coach) expected in Sept


~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Then there is me:

Chari
Anne 19 years
Matthew 17 years
Sarah 15 years
Maddelyn 13 years
Garrett 11 years
Malachy 6 years


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer brought her three kids plus Teresa's youngest.

Now....here are a bunch of photos taken just before they left yesterday.........enjoy, Grandma!

Now, off to the 4th of July parade and then all day at the lake followed by fireworks about 9:45 pm....because it does not get dark until then!

Happy 4th of JULY to you!

With love and prayers,

Chari
