Happy Happenings

Our son, Greg, arrived yesterday with three cute little kids in tow. The grandkidlets don't visit very often, so it is a super-duper treat when they do! Last night when they went to bed, they left a little gift for the fairies, a bell, and this morning they found that the fairies had left them their own fairy wings, as well as a cool castle to put together. Alas, our photographer, Brianna, is off on an adventure of her own, so posting pics may be a challenge. Happily, she's on her way to China to visit her family before the start of the next semester. She's been away for two years, so it is time for a good visit for sure. Let's see, it'd been 19 months since Tori, Juli, and Christian were last here, so we're loving having them around. Jaxon, Kade, and Sophia seldom make it out this way either, so we are grandkid poor much of the time. Brooklyn and Lilly used to get to visit fairly often,but there visits are less frequent with their Dad hard at work now, so, woe is us, we miss them and little Zaid, too! :) I know how my own parents probably felt years ago when their children grew up and left home, making visits back home with the little ones a rare occurrence. But, three of the nine are here now, so let's party on! Happy New Year's, everyone. I'll try to do some resolutions in a few days, but first things first!
