Just Do the Next Thing

Apr. 17, 2009 - I've been busy...

We have had a busy few weeks. First, Sean's parents were here. Then Sean's Grandpa died while they were here. We headed back to WI for a week. Then we had a week "break" and my Dad and his wife came down. They left Easter Sunday and my sister and her children came on Monday. They left yesterday and I.am.sad. We had so much fun being surrounded by family and friends. We had a good time just being together. I miss our family so much. It was really just a joy to be surrounded by family. We joke that they love us so much because we are hardly around, so when we are, they put up with us so much better than if we lived there.

It has been a world wind and while I am glad to be "home alone" with our family, I do miss them already. The little ones were crying as my sister and more importantly, their cousins drove away yesterday.

Now, even though I am very sad, I still rejoice that we live in the time we do. Had we lived 200 years ago or even 150 years ago, we may have never seen them again or been able to talk and send pictures like we can today. As a matter of fact, right after they drove away, I jumped on my computer and e-mailed my sister to let her know that Miriam was in full blown sobs as they drove away. It was very sad and very cute all at the same time.

I am so thankful when people take the time to come and visit us. I know its a long and boring drive, but it shows their love for us in a real tangible way.

Who's next?
