What a bunch of things I have to be grateful for. I loved this last week of having my mom and dad fly over here to see us in Blacksburg, VA. We had such an incredible week We went to the Cascades and saw my favorite waterfall of course. After the first 24 hours of them being here I could tell they were just plumb worn out. All of our legs hurt trying to book it in there and out so we could still make the kids Violin Lessons, and soccer practices for Jesse and Laynee. Valuable lesson learned.... "you don't have to do it all" it's actually more enjoyable when you don't have to race off to something else. Our life seems to be that way lately. I think it has to do with having 6 kids!
I also had to show them the Claytor Lake Beach that the kids get a kick out of. It was so much fun to relax and kick off our shoes and feel the sand between our toes for a while. I won't mention the long detour we had to take because dad's so called GPS wasn't working right. Lets just say that we're happy we got there and we're all smiling and smiling not because Jesse had to wear his underwear swimming today! He's a little old for that now days.... so he says!
One of my favorite parts about last week was conference. I feel like listening to conference is like a big high for me. It allows me to fill my cup full again to last me through the next 6 moths with whatever trials I may go through. I wish it would never end.
We tried to take my folks around Blacksburg and show them Campus and how beautiful it was, the duck ponds, parks, and the area! The kids all had games last Saturday which really wore all of us out as well. It's so fun to watch but it takes all morning!
The hardest part of it all was having to say goodbye. The time went so fast and it was a cold week so the weather didn't allow us to get the whole effect of how nice the outdoors are here!
