look who’s here!

David’s aunt, Pat, has a business trip in a nearby city next week, and came to visit us for the weekend!  We are so, so happy to have her.  Pat lives in Seattle, and we realized that the kids (and us) have not actually seen her since Christmas, 2009, but she, David’s aunt, Cathy and cousin, Annie, are such very important people in Judah and Amie’s life.  They are amazing at staying connected with us through emails, Skype, packages and, of course, Pat’s famous pj’s.

The kids asked me to make a paper chain count-down for Pat’s visit, so we’ve watched 10 rings dwindle down to 1, and now the time is come!  Thanks so much for coming to see us, Pat!
