It was a "warm fuzzy" kind of day, relaxing and settling in; dressing the animals in Superman costumes that used to be Ginger's. (Sadly sweet to see them recycled like that.) Saturday mornings are typically busy for active families and this was no different. The boys were involved in a Boy Scout food drive, then it was off to the church's Fall Festival to play handbells. I enjoyed just being an observer with none of the responsibilities and having the chance to mingle and chat with some familiar faces. The setting reminded me very much of our "Christmas Bazaar" back home.
Daniel has a real knack for being a very considerate host, going out of his way to see that I am comfortable and have everything I need. I'm very touched by that.
I loved the fact that Ian was eager to show me his cello music for orchestra and even played through every piece, giving me very informative narratives for each one. Then we played cello / violin Christmas duets with Jenn accompanying on piano. Heart be still!
And the day got even better. . .
Dan drove out from Kannapolis to spend the night, bringing both Kaitlyn and Matthew! Since my family is rather large (when you begin counting them all) and because they don't all live in one proximity, it's always a thrill whenever we are able to come together in various groups. It is my heart's desire to gather them all together at some point. . .at least long enough to take a picture! That's going to take some doing, though, since they are spread from Buffalo, NY to North Carolina and grandkids range in age from 33 yrs. to 5 mos. For now, it is enough to get to "live with" Ian and Daniel for awhile and to "squish" Matthew and play with Kaitlyn.
