Welcome Matsumura Family

Rollin's sister Vian and family has been living in Japan for the past 18 years. They decided to move to the states and our moving to Idaho. They flew into LA and we were able to spend half a day with them before they made the rest of their trip. My kids had never met them since the last time they were here I was pregnant with Kassy. They wanted to go to the beach. Even with it being the end of September most of them including my children got in. Crazy!!! Then we did the Ruby's thing at the end of the pier. We were glad we were able to spend a little time with them. At least we will be able to see them every 6 months or so now instead of every 12 years!!!!

Ben and Keiya. Keiya broke her arm and had to get pins put in a day before they left Japan. What a long trip when you are so uncomfortable. She was a trooper.

Rollin's brother Benjamin and sister Vian. Benjamin drove down from Utah yesterday and is turning around and taking Vian and family back to Utah. Then one of the other brothers will drive down from Idaho and pick them up in Utah. What a journey!!!

That's quite the journey. I remember being at your house one time when you guys were making a DVD to send to the Japan cousins. How nice you will get to see them more! My mom's cousin lives in Japan. I would love to go there someday.
