Of course, there was plenty of time at home. There were some scary times as we had to ward off robbers until the good guys could show up to rescue us!
Then there was the princess who had two stalwart knights to protect her!
We enjoyed an afternoon play put on by the neighborhood kids. It was written and directed by one of the young girls who lives on their cul-de-sac. It involved a poor man named Alfredo (played by Nathan) who comes up with a brilliant idea that earns him a check for $1,000,000.00 given by Mr. Moneyrich (played by Luke). Caleb and Jonathan were musicians and Anna, bless her heart, was just along for the ride! :)
Then Friday arrived! We had been praying, praying, praying that Pilot would land in time to join us. With Air Force precision he landed at 1:30 pm and had his debriefing, then rushed to his apartment to shower and pack, then Sarah, arrived to pick him up for their drive from NC to DC. At 10:00 pm there was a knock on the door and they had arrived, safe and sound!! The next day began a whirlwind of activity which included a mean game of basketball (with some double teaming), games of Cribbage, Pinochole, Balderdash, movie watching (The Rookie) and, of course, watching the Utah Jazz in the play offs.
We even squeezed in time for a belated birthday celcbration and a belated Masters graduation!
Then, as if that wasn't enough, there was Anna to laugh over as she perfected her walking. And there was Grace to coo over as she began to lose her new born look.
So as you can see we managed to pack a lot of fun into our short visit. It was filled with lots of laughter and smiles. And, I have to say, Sarah (Sawah, as Jonathan would say) fit in perfectly. The boys LOVED her and were quite sad that she had to leave with Pilot late Monday afternoon.
