Had some wonderful friends staying from Kansas this week and it truly was a blessing to have them with us. Jim Hester, his daughter Mary Katherine and her friend Gloria were a joy to have around. They were on their way back from a mission trip to Uganda. We did however miss the remainder of the Hester family, but maybe they might visit another time. Their stay provided all kinds of fun and laughter, along side deep and meaningful conversations. I so love having friends come stay in my home, which is a good job because it happens often. The fun part for us too was having all 5 of us together in our loft bedroom to sleep. Like a 6 day sleepover. The girls waking us up at night as they came in at all hours, switching on the lights and wanting to talk and then the little man waking us up in the morning at some ridiculous time, switching on the lights and wanting to talk. I wouldn't have it any other way. These times are so precious and I'm guessing will stop eventually when everyone decides to leave home!!!! But until that glorious day our impressions of Charlie Bucket's family from Charlie and the Chocolate family will continue to be enjoyed.
Lovely too to have Hollie's friend Janel pop by and stay the night. I'm not sure if I've said but Hollie truly has the most fantastic friends and long may they carry on 'popping' in.
This motto says it all for us. Live, laugh, love. The definition of a motto is a sentence, phrase or word which expresses the spirit or purpose of a person, organisation etc. A family, maybe? My family. Our family.
I think we may just claim it for our own, until we find something else we fancy.
