Time with Family

Hey All,

Just wanted to update you all on what's going on here.
We had a good month - Especially with our (Joel's) family coming.

We had a great time. My parents were able to take two weeks off this year and come to visit us here after two years apart. We spent a total of 10 days together with them as well as my youngest brother Gabe and Grandma (dad's mom).
We had a great time together and were pretty busy most of the time. We visited two castles in the Carpathian mountains (Transylvania) and spent some days at the Black Sea. :-)
We had some great discussions, went cool places, and ate a lot of really good food. (Romanian food is some of my favorite in the world - with such nice bread, soups, cheeses, etc). We were also blessed with a new camera so we took A LOT of pictures (which of course we will share and have already shared below).
But the best part was finally being able to talk and spend time together regardless of where we were and what we did. It was so nice to finally be together again.

Since they left last Friday we've also been able to spend some time with Dana's family as well - especially with her aunt Claudia and cousin Jennifer before they went back to Germany.
Over all it's been really great.

Gotta run now but we'll share more photos as we go so check out our blog again.

Peace,
Joel and Dana
