This week, Alexx's mom-in-law had an opportunity to come down, and took it and surprised Brian. We had a great visit with her as well. She got to come to our church and Jess gave her a tour of the nursery area(Laura is the coordinator for nursery at her church). Then the whole gang got together for a "grill out" as they refer to cook outs down south. The sun was out, and it was fun. Then we took her for a small beach house tour. Mike and I had some things to pick up as we had cleaners cleaning houses yesterday. So we showed her our business. Then we got 5 different flavors of ice cream, and watched a movie. It was a lot of fun. Laura has been a part of our family since 1994, so it was nice to be together again. During the movie, David and Johnny sat on her lap in our oversized chair. It was an image I will remember. She loves the kids so much. When we lived in NY, she would take them ALL at least once a month. Brian and Alexx have somewhat taken her place down here. They have had them all on occasion, and sometimes just a few. But for those of you out there with large families, you will agree, it makes a huge difference in the dynamics of the family when just one of them is out of the house. So, this morning, I am here alone. (except for the dogs)(and the tortoise) I will take advantage of this time to hustle around and take care of some business. Then we will meet at the beach. Mind you, Alexx and Brian have a 2 bedroom apartment. There are 8 people in it right now. Wow. These are memories they will cherish for a long time. Well, off I go............ When I write again, nobody knows...............busy, busy, and having fun.........the clouds just broke.............here comes the sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |
