| conditions had definitely worsened for the drive home |
So, after 3 wild days in the valley visiting oldest daughter and son-in-law, we drove back home. We pulled in at 7:00 pm Thursday night. Monte, Hillary and Erin followed us over the pass the next day and were here with Bailey bird and all their paraphernalia Friday at 1:00 pm! (Keep in mind that I had just recovered from a 5 day stint with the stomach flu 2 days before leaving for their place). I tried not to stress over the fact that laundry was exploding from both of the hampers and food was a distant memory to the empty 'fridge.

| It's so much fun having little ones again. Thanks bro' for giving us that gift. |
We enjoyed a family rich Easter at my parents home. Lots of eating, game playing (Funglish, Apples to Apples, Rummy..) crafting for the girls, basketball for the boys, and of course the hunting of the eggs!
 |
| togetherness? Yes. ;) |
Monte and Hillary stayed later than they probably should have. It's always hard to say good-bye. They headed back over the mountain at about 7:00 pm and we got their safe arrival call close to 11:00.

Crazy, busy, fun time that left us with more memories to cherish and relationships kept strong. I love my kids!! Anybody know what I mean? It's a crazy love...
Blessings, Debbie
I love crazy, busy family get-togethers! I'm glad you had such a great time with everybody together.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I know what you mean! And the more grown up they get the more I really LIKE them as people. Looks like a great time was had by all!
ReplyDeleteSeeing that snow was kind of a shock for my southern eyes. o_O
I do know what you mean! I would love to have had five more, but I am so thankful for the five that God did bless me with. And now I need more grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that your family time was so happy and safe!
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled you had time with your love ones - nothing is more important then spending time with each other -- hugs..

ReplyDeleteLovely day, and such a lovely family. I have to agree about loving my kids part. I am just a little nuts in this area.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great way to live. :)
Hi Debbie, I do Loooove to see families making lasting memories, and what you said about family is exactly how i feel, though ours live so far away. And when ours visit, and go back home, I wait by the phone for that safe phone call, then and only then can I sleep. ~smile~
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteOh, do I ever know that love. We have 8 and when all of them, with their husbands or wives and 20 grands come home..I am in Heaven! :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I always fight tears when mine have to leave after a visit. Maa
