This week has been so special.
Our dear friends, the Pergola family, have been visiting the area from Louisiana. We have missed them so much! It has been a year since we have seen them and everyone is getting so grown up. Suzanne looks great, as usual. What a wonderful time it has been to be able to share and catch up.
I have treasured the opportunity.
Katie is a beautiful young lady! Very poised and gracious. I really enjoyed having a chance to chat with her. I didn't get to see Michelle and Anna much because they were having a great time catching up with all their friends. They are also very sweet and pretty.
John loved having Giordan to hang out with and do guy stuff. Giordan is so polite and easy to have around, but he likes a lot of the same things that John does.
Gina was here, but she is a quiet little thing. I hardly knew she was here half the time. She read most of our library of Hardy Boys books in about two days. What a cutie, very helpful!
It was especially nice to get a chance to see how Dominic is growing up. He is our Godson and it really means a lot to be able to stay connected.
Anthony is a little pistol with an imagination that makes his mother nervous, but what a doll! He is so cute you just have to grin no matter what he is into. He was really very good.
Mike came by today and Brendan was so happy to see him! He has a hard time expressing those things. Mike brought him some hockey equipment because Brendan has taken a liking to in-line hockey. He loves his skates, and anything with a stick and skates is even better.
When Mike had to pack up the kids and leave to go get Suzanne, Brendan came inside and I think he was a little choked up. I guess he wasn't sure what to say. He really wants to go down to Louisiana and so do I! We are just gonna have to suck up the gas prices and go. Skates and all.
We have had a chance to share time together with several families, including our TORCH group, and it is such a Blessing to have such special friends. I pray we will all have many more years and times together.
