Tomorrow our youngest daughter is coming here from San Diego.  To say that we are excited would be a terrible understatement.  We aren’t just excited for her visit, but for the rest of the family that is coming for the weekend!  Everyone but Hugo will be here, and it will be a great weekend.  It won’t be the same without him for sure, but we will see him at Christmas.  Then it will be complete.  The one time we try to get together as a family is Christmas, it is increasingly more difficult but always so much fun and encouraging.  To watch our children’s families develop into their own family is a blessing beyond description.  Thank you Lord for healing me and for allowing me to see these days!

Both of the grandchildren will be here, and I can’t wait to see them together!  You can be sure there will be lots of new photo’s added and gallons of coffee consumed.  We will eat well and laugh a lot, and I’m sure the time will pass all too quickly.  I’m not going to think about that right now, just the next days that we will spend together.  Come on Tuesday night…!
