The last few days

Hi Kids!

The last few days have been pretty "busy" here.  I cannot say I have done much because I have not; its just that there have been visitors three days in the row and this is the first day since Friday that there hasn't been. And I did nothing today, just tried to relax but the truth is I couldn't.  I have not been sleeping well.

On Saturday this house hosted the annual Turpin family picnic.  There were so many people here; though I know many of them there were still people I was meeting for the first time!  There was plenty of food - I actually found myself overwhelmed (and I had to find a quiet spot for myself to relax from time to time).  On Sunday, my uncle Erwin, cousin Chris, cousin Jen and her kids Mark and Amanda stopped by for most of the day - as did Kathie but I don't recall Peter and Bryan coming by.  Yesterday my cousin Jen and her kids spent the day here.   I know you guys often do not like to visit family, but you should try your best to enjoy them every time you get a chance - there will come a time when you want to see family and you cannot.

I was going to go to Monsters University with your cousins today but Jimmy's nap lasted too long - hopefully another day.   Lately going to cinema is all I am really up for.  They went to a Stars Wars exhibit today at the National Aviation Museum but I choose not to go.


I really want you to hook up your Wii.  Gramma is now addicted to Animal Crossing City Folk
