surprise, we had company!

Hubie's friends from a few year back were in town today. They stopped by our house, and then came over for dinner tonight! Ross and Jessica lived in Philly for a number of years, moved to Vermont, and now are in Virginia.

I am usually not very calm at the proposal of hosting spontaneous dinner at the house. It was fun though, no need be anxious.

This weekend we went to Indiana to visit to my parents at their lake cottage. Hube and I stopped in my home town to look at my mom's grave, since it will be 10 years this year since she passed. We got flowers and cleaned the stone. This little stop made our arrival in IN later than we wanted, but it was worth it for me.

Saturday Courtney and Kevin came over to IN to see us! They brought their cute kids too:) It was nice to catch up in person, since we rarely have time other than on the phone to do that. We went on a boat ride and watched Luke do some tummy time. Emma warmed up soon enough and loved being outside on the deck.

Mary bought us food we like and cooked it up real nice:). We had potatoes and bacon for breakfast and this yummy raisin bread toast. We had a good time just being together for a couple days. My brother Ryan and sister in law Britt came up on Sunday. It was sort of a quick time with them, since we drove home that day. Chad and Jeannie surprised us and came too! It was great to see everyone, Uncle Bob and Sharon, Grandma Knox and McCullough too!

My Grandma McCullough gave me her old sewing tin. It was sweet of her, she is such a giving and thoughtful person. Always thinking of some one else.

As you go on your way,
May the Lord walk beside you to comfort you.
May the Lord walk above you to watch over you.
May the Lord walk behind you to keep you safe.
May the Lord walk before you to show you the way.

This was the benediction my mom left, as a reminder of God's amazing comfort and presence.
