Family reunion

It's the last phase of our family visitations with my sister leaving this morning. My folks are in for the week, and it's been amazing seeing them go ga-ga over Calvin! My mom just can't stop touching and holding him. All along, Sylvia and I were musing over how my folks would react, and their first introduction to their grandson almost brought tears to my eyes. As I reflect on all that our family has been through, all the trials and joys that threatened to undo us, I can only echo my mother's almost constant phrase, "thanks to God..." I'm so glad that they're here, and I know the week will fly by so fast. Then it's just Sarah and me. Continue to pray for Sarah as she has not been home alone since we've had Calvin. I'm praying that it will be sweet time with the Lord and that she won't be too lonely. Mothering is such hard work! (At least it looks that way from my perspective!!!)
