I'm excited....

I think I've mentioned that I have 8 siblings, 5 brothers and 3 sisters. Next week, my oldest brother, his daughter, and my two youngest sisters are coming to visit. I realize the circumstances aren't really celebratory, since both parents are in the hospital, which is the premise of the visit, however I am excited to see them and spend some family time together. I haven't seen my brother for 5 years...yikes!!
