Our after school activity time this week focused on family! My kids really enjoyed spending time with my Grandma, aunt, cousins, and their second cousins (my cousin’s kids), as well as my sister and her family! We are still staying with my grandma, and the kids aren’t in school, although they are very happy to do a fair bit of schoolwork, in addition to multiple visits to the local library:

Sounds like you are making the most of your “unsettled” time!
They look so happy with their books and Grandma time. Such precious time together!
We are really enjoying our time with Grandma!
Family is so so so important. We learn so much from our elders. Yeah, sometimes you have to filter through “the stuff”, you know. I have learned so many invaluable lessons. I still remember spending time with my grandmother – still hear the sounds, taste the pepper…lots and lots of pepper! Haha!
Anyway, family time is so important, not only to kids growing up, but also for adults. Family love is like nothing else.
Thanks for sharing.
That’s so great that they are getting to spend time with family. Love that first photo!
It’s so nice that you have some time with family! How much longer until you’re in your new home?
We should be able to move in sometime next week – hopefully Wednesday!
Are you already settled in California? That’s awesome if your family is nearby your new home. Nothing better than having folks nearby (or at least driving distance) for company.
Not yet – we are visiting family on the way out. But my brother and his wife and son will live near us in California!
Any time you get to hang out with cousins is awesome time according to my kids!
Looks like everyone is having a blast! How wonderful to be able to stop over with family on your way West.
Oh, how nice for your kids to spend more time with their extended family. They sure look happy! Hope you are coming over soon :)
