This past weekend my family got together at the beach for a bonfire. My sister was in town from Las Vegas with my niece Alyssa. All the baby cousins were together for the first time. Alyssa is almost 2 and Ella will be 3 in August. Although Alyssa is almost a year younger than Ella, she's about a head taller. I think she is going to be tall like her Auntie Mia.
I think it has been over a year since we've all been together as a family. The thing about family is that no matter how long it has been since the last visit you pick up right where you left off. Eva is missing, because she was already asleep in my mom's arms.
