We don't usually watch a lot of movies, but in the past two weeks we've watched seven. M & L even stayed downstairs and didn't interrupt while Hubby and I watched "Letters to Juliet". Hubby was even patient because it was definitely a chick flick.
We've had lots of cuddles in front of the fire, worked on a puzzle together and shared the Super Bowl with neighbors. M & L have learned the fine art of snow removal and have accompanied Hubby on a couple different rounds of shoveling for neighbors, relatives, the church and strangers.
We enjoyed four days with my sister's best friend and got reacquainted with three cousins. I hadn't seen them (the cousins) in about 30 years. We have plans for a cookout this summer and want to do better about being family. After all, they live less than an hour away. A beautiful gift arrived in the mail today too. I had asked my Dad's youngest sister to write down some things about my grandparents since I didn't know them well. I was thinking she'd send something on facebook, but today I got a two page hand written letter. Truly precious and priceless.
We'll even enjoy more family this weekend as we join Hubby's family in Texas. On Tuesday we'll get back to the real world of work, cooking, sports schedules and church activities. The family time has been a gift though.
I'm so impressed that you managed to get Devon to watch Letter's to Juliet with you! I'm pretty sure Earl would rather stick a fork in his eye than watch any kind of chick flick :). Great picture!
