We had such a delightful week! It all started Tuesday evening - about 8:30. I was upstairs . . . yes - in bed. I don't usually go to bed at 8:30 . . . but that night I was up in bed getting ready to dive into a book, I think Anthony was downstairs watching basketball - and suddenly we hear a knock at the door. That was a bit unusual. I let Anthony answer it - and the next thing I know - I hear Andrew, Anthony's brother's voice. Yes Andrew! I quickly went downstairs - and there he was - shorts, T-shirt and all. What a wonderful surprise! He was in town on a business trip - and surprised us! We had a delightful next few days - playing Settler's online with Anna (Andrew's wife) one night - and then Wackee 6 the next (thanks Holly for such a fabulous Christmas present). Anyway - it was such a great surprise.
On Saturday we had a 'camping theme' primary activity - and Anthony was asked to do a little orienteering course for the kids - and I sang some fun campfire songs. It was great.
Then on Saturday night Mom and Carrie came to visit! They were driving cross country and stopped here for the night. It was so fun to see them! We got to celebrate Carter's 1st birthday together and enjoy some fabulous chinese food.
We just appreciate family so much and were thrilled to be able to enjoy family this week. We don't get that treat very often - living so far away - but we sure treasure the times that we can spend together.
