Before I even start writing today, I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who showed me love on yesterdays post. I received an overwhelming amount of support in comments on the blog, on Facebook, and through private message. You are all so wonderful to me. Thanks for caring about my family.

We have the privilege of visiting with some family this weekend! Bradys sister, brother in law, and their three boys have come out for the weekend! The boys even skipped school! They arrived in the late afternoon and we all settled in together nicely. The boys found things to do, and Dekker warmed up faster than I have ever seen! Normally, even one visitor puts him a little on edge, but the three boys loved him up sooo well, and he was running with them within a couple of hours. He was devastated to go to bed, but he will be pleasantly surprised to find them still here in the morning. I’m sure of it.

We all just went our separate ways after milk, cookies, and many recounted labor and delivery stories. I feel all warm and fuzzy. I’m confident that, even if we weren’t family, we would be friends 🙂 Wish you guys lived closer!!!

Off to bed for us. I’m sure Laela will be up in a couple of hours anyway. Sleep tight, if you aren’t already.

Wishing you many blessings of being together this weekend! Meant to phone yesterday, but you are prayed for and loved!!:)
