When it Rains it Pours (in a good way)

The expression "When it rains it pours" is so true!
Julie called me from Tanzania, Africa a couple of weeks ago and asked if it would be okay if she flew out for a visit once she got back in the states. We hadn't seen her in almost three years (since Mcayden was six months old) and were really happy she was coming to see us!
She was landing in Denver the same day as the BYU/CSU game (when our friends were here visiting, from out of state), so my mom and Cindy drove down (from UT.), picked Julie up at the airport and then they spent two days at Estes Park, before heading up to our place.
After our friends left, family arrived!
We had such a fun visit with them! The kids loved having Grammie and TWO aunties here. And we loved that the kids got to see them all and we got to spend time together.
Grammie and Cindy headed back home a couple of days ago and Julie flew out today. Our house feels almost empty now.
I feel so blessed to have a family that always makes time (and spends the $$) to come see us and be with our little family.We know it's not cheap or easy to fly across country or drive seven hours! Julie, Mom & Cindy, we really enjoyed having you here! Thank you so much for the visit! We love you! We hope to see you later this month for Turkey Day!
