We could be 10 minutes away and they would say that. It used to drive my sister and I crazy... but I guess us asking my parents over and over again "When will we be there" drove them crazy. So anyway... Cris, Renee and their three kids stayed the weekend up there with us. Lichelle and Brodie's daughter Alysha stayed with us, and Mieshka and her ...
