Visiting with Family & Friends

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to visit David's sister Kristi and her family (a big thanks to Steve's parents for opening their home up to us). It was a full house, too! There was Steve and Kristi with their 2 boys; David and I with our 2 girls; Steve's sister and her 3 kids; Steve's brother and, of course, his parents. It was great catching up with everyone and getting to know our nephews, Jacob and Isaac. Saturday, we took a tour of Maranatha's campus; it certainly has changed since David went to school there! The girls had a blast playing outside and playing with all the "boy" toys. It certainly is great being able to spend time with family.



This weekend, David's childhood friend Jim and his family came up for a visit. Friday night, they had fun looking through old pictures and swapping stories. We spent Saturday at the Mall of America, where the kids enjoyed playing at LegoLand, David played a few holes of mini golf and the adults managed to sneak in a little shopping along the way. Good friends are a blessing!


Since we are on the topic of visiting, are any of you fellow bloggers going to Maranatha the weekend of April 20th? If so, we hope to see you there!

Isn't it great to see old friends and family? I think it is very refreshing to be with people who have known us forever. To answer your question - we are going to be at Maranatha for the Madrigal concert. Yeah!
