We've been blessed by several family visits while dh has been deployed. First my sister and her little one Tanner came out from Kansas in October.

Next, mother-in-law flew out from Florida over Thanksgiving. She kept the kids distracted with bocce ball (friend Jackson joined in with that) and card playing and anything else they wanted to do!We just returned from taking my parents to the airport to head back to Texas, after spending a wonderful Christmas vacation with them.  Lots of card playing, movie watching, walks, oh and eating of course!Mom-- I have a difficult time getting a photo of you with your eyes open! That woman will play Phase 10, anytime, anywhere ha! From the bottom of our hearts, thanks to all of you who helped the last few months go by a little more quickly. We love you and are so grateful for our wonderful family. We are blessed!
