There's so much to write about, but so much happening around here I haven't had time to write.
I guess the first thing is that Beth and Chuck are both feeling much better. Still a tiny bit congested but they're back to their regular routines.
My visit with my sister was so much fun. She had always wanted to go skydiving but due to a knee replacement, and minor back issues her doctor advised against it. So my niece and I surprised her with indoor skydiving! She was shocked! Our plan worked perfectly! This is when she first realized what she was going to be doing -
She had also wanted some nice photos taken so my nieces daughter did her make up and we headed outside for a fun photo shoot.
Then we headed out so she could learn to fly!
Each person got to go twice if they wanted to and she did! I thought she'd be too nervous to go at all but she wasn't. I'm so proud of her. At 70 years old, she 'flew' by herself. You can see in the second picture the trainer isn't even holding her.
We went for a walk at a local park, watched her tortoises eat lunch, (that pan is the size of a large pizza) and spent a lot of time just talking.
It was exactly what we both needed. We decided next time I need to spend a week there because it just went by so fast. We're the only two left of our original family of five.

Back at home - I'm gearing up for Sunday school. The Leaders Handbook is finished, I've been working in the classroom, and I even had a wonderful assistant help me with the bulletin board on Wednesday.
And Diana and Adelaide arrive tomorrow night. I filled my car with gas, I'm getting the den ready for them, putting out toys, baby-proofing the house... I'm beyond excited to see them! So if you don't hear from me for a while, it's because I'll be chasing a two year old around the house! And loving every minute of it!
I'll get back to visiting your blogs soon, I promise!

What a very sweet time you had with your sister. Exciting weekend ahead with your visitors. You'll be running for sure. Enjoy your time face to face. Happy Valentine's day!
I so enjoyed reading this post and all the photos are great. Happy Birthday to your sister (she's so brave). Love that last photo of your "wonderful assistant". Enjoy chasing that grandchild around!
What a joy filled post!! I have wanted to try flying, too. But have never had any desire to skydive. Worried now that my time to do so may have come and gone. We'll see. So glad your sister got to experience that. You guys were so sweet to treat her to such a special day. I love having sister time with my baby sister. The time goes so fast. Hope you guys can make plans to be together again soon.
So excited that you daughter and grandbaby are visiting. Hope you enjoy every precious moment and make wonderful memories. My daughter is coming in a month. I can't wait.
