Family Coming!!

I just got a phone call earlier today from my Uncle Bobby in Arizona. It seems that they are missing us–and are coming for a visit the first week of August. I can’t wait! I’m hoping we will be in our new home–so that they can stay with us–we AlWAYS stay with them when we go to Arizona–so it would be nice to return the favor.

When we moved to Arizona in 1999, Uncle Bobby and his family were the only family we had in the state. They became my kids surrogate grandparents, and still have a close bond with my oldest two boys. We moved to Chicago when I was pregnant with Blake, and they didn’t get to meet her until she was 4 months old when we went for a visit–that was our last visit until last February when we decided to head out again. This time they got see what a darling little girl Blake had grown into–as well as meeting 2 year old Barrett for the first time. Even after a few short days with them, Blake still talks about seeing Uncle Bobby again. It will be so nice to see them again–I really can’t wait!!
