Even when I am feeling sick and tired and down (perhaps especially when I feel that way?) it means so much to receive visits from dear, kind friends. This weekend we enjoyed two special visits: (1) Mike's Aunt Joan & Hugh (2) My cousin Donna and her girls... and of course, we can't forget the more common (but still special) visits from mom and dad, char, jer and ginny!
Aunt Joan and Hugh
Aunt Joan and Hugh live in Winter Haven, Florida. Hugh is from Schenctedy, NY and as part of their summer vacation in the northeast, they had made plans to stop by and visit with us. We had a great time showing them around our house and yard, sitting on the back deck and just catching up. They treated us to lovely dinner at Pietro's (quickly becoming a go-to restaurant spot for us.. this is where we took the Vogels during their visit!) and we then spent a little more time at their hotel with them. It was really nice hearing their stories and just getting to know them both better (I've really only met them on a few occasions, so this was a special treat for me). Thanks for taking the time and for investing the effort and for treating us for dinner -- we really enjoyed the day with you both!
Donna and the girls
My parents had been watching Donna's girls while Donna was working and given our busy schedule and my treatment coming up, we were not able to make it out to Lancaster to visit. SO... My mom and dad brought the party to us! They arrived Sunday evening, in time to enjoy a BBQ dinner with Charlene, Ginny and Regan. The girls took to Regan very quickly and we all enjoyed watching them play with the dolls, hiking to the playground, and, of course, choreographing and performing songs and dances! They had so much fun on Sunday, Char and Jeremy had to bring Regan back on Monday to see "the girls" for a bit more play time!
