A Special Cousin

While I was partying the night away at my 30 year reunion, Troy was at home receiving our weekend guests, Peter and Sheri and kids. They came up because Sheri felt like a visit to her grandparents in Heber was long overdue. They drove north on Saturday, straight to Heber, spent the afternoon with her family, then came to our house late that night.

Here's what I want to say. Peter and Sheri have darling darling kids. All four of them are so fun and delightful and we adore them. I just have to give a special shout out to their 2nd daughter though, who is just a couple of months younger than Emma. Cara has been Emma's most loyal friend in her whole life and I'm really grateful for her. Those two girls are facetiming constantly and text and just show up for each other. She's a darling friend to Emma, who really needs her in her life. 

Emma finished learning all the pieces in Book 3 of her Suzuki violin program and she needed to have a little recital to make it official. Boy was I glad when I realized that Peter and Sheri were going to be here on the weekend of her recital. We just got to enjoy Emma's playing just with ourselves and Troy's mom. Emma played beautifully. She got very nervous right before it started but really pulled herself together and did a great job!

Grateful to cousins for showing up for us. We love them so much. And also so grateful to The Becky and all she does for Emma.
