My whole married life, I have wanted to live closer to my family.
About 4 years ago, God answered this heart’s desire by moving one of my sisters out here.

She is not married, & SPOILS our kids rotten! (which is good for them, I think!)
She also spoils us, but, that’s just a nice added benefit!
BUT….about 6 months ago, my OTHER sister surprised us with the news they were placing their house on the market & ALSO moving to Colorado!!!
The long awaited day finally arrived, &

The long awaited day finally arrived, &
they pulled into their new neighborhood about 10 miles north of us EARLY Sunday morning!!!
Ana is THRILLED!

She is our child who FEELS everything, & was telling us several times a day that she “just couldn’t WAIT until her best cousin (A., who is also 7) moved here!!!!”
(My sister & I have tried to convince them they can’t get married, to no avail! Blush! )
But, all joking aside, we are so thankful for the blessing of FAMILY close by for our kids.

It is nice to have people around your kids who have the same values/beliefs.
Know what I mean????
Especially in today’s CRAZY, MIXED UP world.
We have spent time up there every day since Sunday

Anyway, here are pics…..& you probably will see much more of these handsome little gentlemen!
How has God blessed you today?

That is wonderful news! I would LOVE to live closer to family.
How fun for all of you! I miss my family. (most of the time! ;) )
If VP Cheney is to be believed, Ana could bring "A" back to her ancestral state.
And as much as I love my cousins -- who all live about 90 minutes away -- I wouldn't marry any of them; Chad and I are the city mice, and they're the country mice.
(Besides, if I had married my cousin, then I would've had to buy my new car from a complete stranger.)
Joyce-we are really enjoying it!
Brad-how did you get a link on the comments??? That's cool!!
Rachel-I'm not surprised! You have a great family on both sides!
That is SO wonderful to have family so close now. You must be so happy to have them so close. That is one of the things I really miss where we are at the moment.
My 4 year old and her cousin also 4get on really well too. We'd love to live near them one day too.
Loving supportive family is such a blessing!!

Anna-you are SO right-it is a HUGE blessing!!!
