March 26, 2011

We just had the greatest evening we've had in a really really long time.

This afternoon my sister-in-law Alice Schadewald called and asked if her and her family could come for a visit. I said in a most exciting voice, "Yes of course, we'd love to have a visit." So right around 6:00pm they came for a visit. They stayed till almost 8:00pm.
My brother-in-law Kyle, sister-in-law Alice, and niece and nephew (Amber and Danny) came. We had just the greatest visit with them. My kids were so excited to see their cousins that they took them to their rooms and had a great time. Kyle and Alice and I talked about everything from whats going on in their lives, what's been going on in our lives, and much more. It was a wonderful visit for everyone.

Neither of us get the chance to visit very often due to work schedules and distances, so when we do get a chance to visit, we always have a great time. Its so wonderful when we do get together. We laugh, think and just enjoy being in each others company. Chris had to work and so missed out on this visit, but when I told him that we had company, he felt bad that he couldn't be here. So I think either Monday or Tuesday (Chris is off then) we'll call them up and see about returning the visit.

They have been going through a lot in their lives and it was great to see that they are doing really well through it all. Sammy and Amber talked about things that Amber has been going through. That is so different because Amber usually didn't say much in prior visits. Sammy was happy to see that Amber wanted to spend some one-on-one time with her. Danny and Alex both have Asperger's Syndrome and just seem to click with each other. Alex said after they left that he needs to practice more on the playstation games they were playing because Danny was better at it this time.

It was so wonderful to have company. Being home all the time and not working can be really lonely. So having them come and spend time with us was so much fun.

Thankyou Kyle, Alice, Danny, Amber for spending the evening with us. We love you!!!

Till later...
