We had visits from family and friends and we made the extremely long trek to visit my northern grandparents.
Our younger daughter turned one in October and my parents came the first weekend in November to see our girls and celebrate that first birthday. We had cupcakes and took lots of pictures. We had such a nice visit and it was a balm to my wounded heart after the loss of our unborn little one.
The next weekend we were blessed to have close friends come to visit us. Their little ones played with our little ones and we grown-ups were able to visit and even get in a couple of our favorite games after the kid's bedtimes. God was so good to send friends to our home when we needed the encouragement and love that only they could offer.
We had one weekend at home before we packed up and took a long trip north. We traveled through Arkansas where we stayed one night with my sister and her family on the way up and for the return trip. Our girls had the best time playing with their cousins.
In Michigan, we had very cold weather, a little covering of snow, great chats with my grandparents, ice cream from the best ice cream parlour in the world and a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.
On the way home we visited with college friend of Joe's and enjoyed getting to know his family.
Our life is filled with many blessings for which to be thankful.
