It is soon now.

Soon came sooner than I thought in the last post. Also this month, we were delighted to have more visitors. They arrived on the the same day, but stayed for different lengths of time. My Aunt Ann and Uncle Gary came for a night, Aunt Carla for a week, and Mom for 10 days. Thank you all for coming! We had such a good time with you and felt very loved!

TW and J blew bubbles while we waited excitedly for them to arrive.


Miss A passed the time by sitting in the sunshine and chewing on a ball--she sits up really well now!

Note the very cute, 34 year old hat...sweet girl!

The boys started crafting with Aunt Carla almost as soon as she arrived. The boys always love their time with her--she is so much fun and so creative!--and I loved her visit and am thankful for all her help while she was here.

And...we celebrated birthday # 3 with Grammie. Yummm....carrot cake!

J was soon wrestling buddies with Uncle Gary. (This picture is supposed to make Pappy jealous--we really miss you, Dad!)

And....drumroll, please....Adelyn got to open her quilt from Grammie. It is beautiful, very special and almost makes me cry when I think about it. We will treasure it. I will post a picture of the full quilt with more details when I take one.

Loving sitting with Aunt Ann.

And enjoying being the center of attention with the big girls.

We are so blessed by all our visitors and are so looking forward to being closer to our families soon (we hope!).

Dang, when I read the title of this post, I thought you were going to write about how your house sold and you found a house in Colorado and you were on your way to moving back out here! Oh well, a girl can dream right? ;) Hopefully soon for that too!

Great pics of the kids and the fam. I especially love the ones of Miss A in her hand-me-down hat. Too precious! Thanks for sharing!
