Letters From Tim

In keeping with my goal of writing about the ‘Good Things’ while Tim is gone, I am thankful for MY COUSINS. They are spoiling me this summer with plenty of visits.

Winden and Morgan plan to visit over the June 22nd weekend. It will be special as Winden and I share birthdays only one day apart. Winden has been in Spain with her family for about six months. Morgan just graduated college.

Betsy and her husband, Andy, are grabbing Briggs for their Annual Cincinnati trip over the June 30th weekend. They plan to get Briggs on water skis this year. Betsy and Andy are expecting their first child in October.

On July 4th, Suzy flies in from Miami for five days. Her boyfriend, Luis, and parents will join us for the weekend. Luis is from Venezuela…so we will have to treat him to some real Hoosier spirit! And, my Aunt Caroline shares the same birthday as the twins. We will have a great celebration for the twins’ first birthday and Caroline’s 40th (heehee).

Finally, my thirteen year old cousin, Mina, is coming to help with the kids for ten days starting July 16th. I am so excited to spend some quality time with her. She is absolutely delightful and a HUGE help. We will have a great time. This will be her first independent trip from Boston.

It was a rough and exhausting day…but I end the day being thankful most for my family!
