Good Times

The phone rang yesterday, glancing at the caller ID I saw it was my brother David. I'm always happy when one of my brothers call and picked up right away.

This time instead of our normal catching up on the latest he had a request. Because of the snow he couldn't get his big rig to a drop off and was stranded only 12 miles from our house and was wondering if we could pick him up. We were more than happy to do so, and the rest of the day was spent talking and being the great uncle that he is he had to play games with each of the children.

I was sad to see him leave this morning, but thankful for the chance we had to spend some time together once again.  Family times are the best!

  4. I fondly remember that game, too! Now I will have to keep an eye out for one. Thank you for that little glimpse into your day. I love your daughters' dresses by the way. I am so thankful that after 3 boys I have a lovely little 'lady baby' (as I call her) to make beautiful, feminine dresses for.

  9. I'm glad that you were able to "rescue" your brother from the snow, and then have a wonderful family time together.

    I also enjoyed the photo that you chose to go with this post. It appears as if everyone is having a good time being together.
