What great pictures! Your family is beautiful and your parents looks just like I remember them! It think it is great that both of your families come to see you guys... I can't get mine to hardly ever come to NJ to see us. When we lived in England, no one from either sides of our families came to visit. If ever you guys find yourself in Philadelphia or NYC, please let me know and I can come meet you for lunch, dinner, coffee or whatever!
