Family Visits!

We have been so blessed for the past 3 weeks to have family in town. Anna has gotten to meet 2 of her great-grandmothers for the first time, so now she has met all 4. That is very special to me even though she might not remember meeting all of them, a couple are not in good health and may not get to see her in person again.
My dad's mom, aunt and sister came 2 weeks ago from PA and spent the week. We had a great time doing "girl" things like shopping for jewelry and getting massages. I enjoyed getting to spend good quality time with them since I haven't made it to PA in several years.
Last weekend, Chad and Shana came in from CHI Town for a wedding. Although they had a busy schedule they did get to fit in some good Anna time with Uncle Chad and Auntie Shana- she loves them by the way! Which is good because they sure love her too. We also got to have some family photos taken with everyone here. Anna was a little ham!
This weekend Jason's mom and grandmother came all the way from New Mexico for a visit on the holiday weekend. We don't get to see them very often either, in fact, we haven't seen Nanny since our wedding. Anna is enjoying getting to show off her new tricks!
It has been fun for everyone to see our new house. Jason has done such a great job on everything, and I have loved being able to host everyone for at least one meal while they are here. Space is a wonderful thing!!
Even though we have enjoyed having all kinds of visitors, I think I will breathe a huge sigh of relief when things get back to "normal"!

Joining the Masses

Ok, I have joked with many of you about being a blog stalker until this point and so I guess I am joining everyone in posting snippets of our life so that everyone can keep up. With so many family and friends far away I hope you enjoy getting to silently participate in our life, and I hope that sometimes we will hear from you just to know that you are out there reading!
