As mentioned in the post about E's baptism, my parents and my brother, S, came to visit to be here for E with an added benefit of getting to see the youngest grandchild: V. It was a chaotic weekend. They arrived Friday and we did dinner together (Both the S family and our family). Saturday morning was the baptism, followed by two sessions of General Conference. Sunday was more General Conference and dinner together at the S home (see picture from the previous post). Then, Monday (all too soon!) they had to fly home.
Above is a picture of the boys and Grandma playing a game--such a L family thing to do! :)
Grandma was sooooooooo excited to see and hold V.
Here are the proud grandparents:
One of the things that my mom brought with her when they came is the dress that she sewed for me and that I was blessed in. We tried it on V. It fits very well right now---and just might fit by blessing day, but maybe not. I was a preemie and V was not. We will see.
More pictures in the dress:
It was another sad day when Grandma, Grandpa, and S had to say goodbye--especially to V. Like Grandma K, she won't remember any of these visits or who these strangers are next time we see them. I so wish all of my family lived closer.
Below is S and C. This is how I found them when it was time to go to the airport. And they played up to the very last minute. They both love strategy games and again I wish that we all lived closer. C really doesn't have anyone to play these long games with. -sigh- It would be so nice.
But, like always, I am so blessed. I have a great family and we live in a time with modern technology. We can fly, drive, Skype, or talk on the phone to visit. What a blessing! :)
