Shelly!

I was so excited that my cousin Shelly and her family came to visit us for an afternoon. You see, Shelly grew up in two places...next door to me and in the Phillippines, where they were missionaries. I always looked forward to the year (every 4 years) that they would come home and I could see them again. Now Shelly and her family are missionaries in Indonesia (my aunt and uncle are still completing the work in the Phillippines!). I am lucky enough to be in Michigan, where BOTH my aunt Jeanie AND Shelly and her family are staying, and BOTH dropped by for an afternoon visit. Our kids had so much fun playing together, and it reminded me of playing with shelly and her sisters and brother when we were little. It was so much fun having them, even if it was short!

We were so busy visiting that this is the only photo I got. My aunt snapped a few more, so I'm hoping to see those :)
