A Family Network Vacation

The Family Network finished its first fiscal year in June! We started the new year with a cleaning week, as well as, a vacation week. During my time off I was able to clean my house multiple times, throw a Fourth of July party, rent some movies, bob in the ocean waves, enjoy Iggy's seafood in Narragansett, and visit family in New Hampshire.

Being in New Hampshire with my aunt, two cousins and their two sons, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, husband and my own two boys really made me appreciate being a part of a family. Time with my family always brings me much laughter, joy, and relaxation. I am truly blessed to be a part of many families; my husband's family, my mother's family, my father's family, neighborhood family, and work family. All these relationships give me a great sense of belonging. Each one with its own language, stories, humor, and culture. Of course, the acceptance within my family and extended family allows me to be my truest self. I wore no make-up. I did not iron my clothes. I sat around in just my bathing suit. You will never witness any of this at the Family Network (except for the make-up sometimes). However, you will witness empathy, professionalism, and an open heart and mind.

If you are a family with no close relatives, we hope you come by the Family Network and spend some summer time with us. We accept you for you. We want to laugh with you. We want to bring you joy. We want you to relax while your children safely play in a cool environment. We want you to become a part of our global culture where you are able to share your language, your stories, and your concerns. Vacation with us during our drop-in playgroups on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Doors open at 10am. You belong at the Together We Can Family Network!
