Today was one of those wonderful, idyllic summer days that I will ponder in my heart for years to come.
My sister Jo & her family, and my cousin Tiff & her family were both scheduled to visit us this month. Something I'd been looking forward to for ages.
In an absolutely wonderful Godincidence, they both ended up being in town at the same time, and it worked out that we could all get together at our home for a somewhat impromptu family reunion.
It was a cousin' playin', Nerf dart shootin', water slidin', motorcycle ridin', squirt gunnin', art-workin', reminiscin', laughin' and guffawin', kids conkin' out exhausted kind of day.
And I wouldn't have it any other way!
As Jericho put it, "I wish we could rewind this day and live it all over again." Judah said he wanted to see his 'friends' everyday.
As we waved goodbye to all our guests this evening and sat out on the porch swing for a while in the cool evening breeze, my kids sensed a bit of the same bittersweet melancholy that I remember feeling as a kid when our cousins would head home after a wonderfully awesome visit to the old homestead.
While kind of sad, the good thing is that we still get to meet up with each family again one more time before they head back to their respective homes! WooHOO!
Fun times in the Frump house!
Now if we could just get our computer situation straightened out, we'd be in business with some fantabulous photos.

What an awesome time! So glad for the Godincidence(lurve), and for even the wistfulness which means we've loved and been loved well. It's okay to miss folks. Enjoy the other end of the visit, too.
Now I'm feeling a little wistful, too! So glad you had a great time with your family. :)
"wish we could rewind this day" days are pretty much the best kind. glad you're having a great summer!
