I was able to work a full day today, thanks to our darling daughters who handled everything at home and let the sleeping dad lie.
Only two more days until our kids come rolling in--we can hardly wait to see them and have everyone meet Baby Maya and Baby Benjamin who were both born last year. Family pictures will be Tuesday and everyone will be there to smile pretty. A birthday celebration is planned for all the July/August birthdays, including Grandpa who will turn 71 on August 1. Meals are assigned and planned, our amazing visiting teacher and her Relief Society cohorts are bringing side dishes, salads, cookies, cold cuts, etc. for lunches and between-meal snacks. Once again, everyone is stepping up to our doorstep and bringing love. And once again, we feel much more blessed than we deserve.
I love you guys so much! I love your blog. It is so beautiful, full of hope, and love and faith. I am so thankful that LeeR is so strong and of good cheer. My dad was also very patient and cheerful during his time of affliction. I hope I can learn from their fine examples. Thanks for sharing and blessing so many lives by your stories and testimony. Hope to see you soon!

It sounds like it will be a wonderful gathering! I'm so glad the Relief Society sisters are helping.
ReplyDeleteAngela, you just can't imagine how much our sisters and brothers are helping us--every day there is another welcome gesture of love. We feel so blessed and so loved. And, of course, so grateful.
