I am fortunate to have close family members that I enjoy being around -- babies and toddlers where so many things are new and fun, tweens testing and trying their wings, teens with their enthusiasm and sarcasm, young adults (our children and nieces) with families and careers, and siblings our age with whom we can reminisce. There will be much laughter, a lot of good food, some nice wines, tons of pictures taken, board games, hugs, sunsets and snoring. The next two weeks will be consumed happily with things family.
