She Made It!

Since yesterday afternoon, our home has been bursting with laughter and joy.  Auntie Kris and Uncle Eric are visiting CA for the first time!  Dave's sister Kristen has a legit fear of flying and has avoided airplanes for a decade now.   But for her 10th wedding anniversary, she faced her fears to spend a week in CA with her husband (and us!).  She and Eric have all sorts of fun anniversary trips planned this week (Napa! San Francisco! Touring Silicon Valley today!)  and we're sure enjoying their company in the downtime they get to spend at our home.  The girls couldn't be more thrilled to have this fun pair in their home.  Auntie and Uncle been hugged about 370 times, now possess a whole refrigerator's worth the art work to haul back to Chicago with them and are learning every detail of the girls' daily life.  We have a long list of things to share with Kris and Eric, like Knight's Ferry, Redwood trees, the Pacific Ocean, real Mexican food and our beloved church family.  Unfortunately, we know that the day for them to get back on that plane will come way too fast.  But, like Kris, I am going to choose to not worry about that yet! :)
