Time with family

My dad and I

The girls

For the entire month of February, almost each day has been a day with my family. With my parents leaving on their mission soon, we've made every excuse to get together for whatever reason. FHE, dinners, Sunday drives, school events and even just to hang out. I was able to leave the kids with Mike and go missionary shopping with my mom to try on new clothes and decide what to take. Other family members have been flying in and out to visit and say good-bye. I have tried to go up to the house and help clean, organize and get ready to close up their house while they are gone, to help, but mostly just to spend time with them.

Family Day

There is no way to describe my parents, but they are just wonderful! In every way. I love talking with them, spending time with them, watching my kids learn and love them. Mike has often told me how much he LOVES being their son (in-law). Every so often, my Dad will call (because we live only 15 minutes from them) he'll ask for help with a project. Mike gets so excited to go help because he says that he just soaks up all of my Dad's knowledge. It can be building shelves, fixing sprinkler or computer issues. It doesn't matter what the project is, he loves being around my Dad.

Girls day! Going to lunch and getting a pedicure.
