Visits and Other Happiness

       August has traditionally been a time of vacation and visits for us, and this month is proving to be another year of tradition!  Last weekend, we traveled to Brian's hometown to stay with his parents, and to visit with his sister, Allison, and her husband, Jo, and kids, Minori and Rei since they are visiting from their home in Japan.  We also love that my sister, Emily, along with her husband, Jim, and kids, Jonah, Rowan, and Isaac, are visiting with my parents for an extended stay since they have just arrived in the U.S. after many years in Scotland and part of a year in Switzerland.  It is so great to see family!  Not to mention that my Grammie's nephew, Randy, is in town on a visit from Florida, so he dined with us tonight.  It's been years since we ate together with Randy:  I think the last time was a dinner in Tokyo when we were vacationing in Japan.  Hurray for visits, conversations, and playmates for the girls!
