Silver Lining

While we were in Atlanta we enjoyed visiting with family. Seeing family and friends is the usually the highlight of a family death. Well that is if you get along with your family I guess. The children are especially the silver lining. They carry on as if nothing happened. They provide distraction, entertainment and perspective to it all. We got to visit with Sandy's great nieces and nephews (our step- cousins) who live in Mexico City, Mexico. Ryder loved playing with them.

Tage, Ryder & Alani

Tage & Ryder- Tage is only 2 months older then Ryder.

He is so cute!

We begged Justice to join in the group picture.

Alani carried Ryder around the house like a doll. He is heavy, but she was determined to do it. He loved the attention. When she put him down he would put his hands in air to get back up.

The kids had a great time. Maybe we can visit them in Mexico sometime. Their daddy has a really cool job. He is in charge of all the extras in the movie industry down there. He is currently working on a film for Mel Gibson where they are working with over 12,000 extras. Their mom and other family have been extras themselves in films such as Troy with Brad Pitt.

Sandy's nieces and nephews are all adventurous. They travel all over the world. I am inspired by those that live life to the fullest. I believe children do just that too.
