Still trying to make it over...

So we are visiting family as we make our way to the uk, spending time with my husband's family.  Lots of brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandkids, grandparents...the works.  We celebrated the baptism of the newest member of the family.  It was interesting, the priest was kinda down on the morals of the world today and stressed that the family needed to really step up to fill the gap.  And I looked around at our young people in the family (25 and younger), and thought, you know this group are such great kids.  Lovely young ladies and handsome young men (inside and out) that my two completely admire and find to be amazing role models.  They are all hard working, kind, considerate, respectful, yet fun-loving with wonderful senses of humor...and my kids want to grow up and be just like them.  And you know what...I am proud to be related to this wonderful group of young people and think there is a lot of good sense in this world and it is closer than you think!
