Relatives From Across the Pond

     Late Sunday night, Ossil got a call that one of his second cousins was in town for just a few days.  They are from the Philippines, but they are citizens of the United Kingdom - Simon, Michelle, and their son Shawn who is four.  They are here for two weeks, but only in the desert for two days.  So we last minute cleaned up the house, bought a bunch of pizzas, and some salads and lemon aid and had them over.  (This was Monday night.)  Shirley (Ossil's Dad's second wife) and her kids, as well as Robert and Girlie (Ossil's cousin), and two of their sons who are seniors in high school, and Ryan (Ossil's nephew), came over as well.  The kids watched Underdog and then played in Aydens room, and the adults and teenagers talked.  Then the teenagers headed over to the computers and watched Youtube.  It was a lot of fun.  I wasn't expecting it, but everyone brought a lot of food with them.  Shirley brought filipino shrimp and rice.  Girlie brought lumpia.  It was so good.  Simon and Michelle are hoping to come to America some day.  I think that they are nurses.  They will be at the next family reunion in 2010.  Shawn was such a cutie.  He was shy at first, but 5 minutes later, he was playing with Ayden.  

      Simon and Michelle are in their 30's but they look so much younger.  They look like early 20's.  Such a cute family.  Ossil had such a great time talking about family and relatives etc.  We exchanged emails so we can exchange information about family and genealogy.  It was such a great night.
