our East coast family...

We had good time Monday with my grandparents, and it was a joy to have my grandpa back out of the hospital and doing pretty well...Grandpa's belly has been a favorite place for grand and great-grand kids throughout the years--Sofie agreed.
 Grandpa and Sofie....and Grandpa and Lily a few years ago!

We arrived in Delaware Tuesday afternoon and right in the middle of our dear nephew Nico having a major allergic reaction to his first taste of peanuts...that was a scary first evening!  After some time in the ER, he is back to normal with a bag full of meds...so thankful that he is ok, doesn't remember a thing (if only that was true for his parents!) and that close medical care was available!

Wednesday, Grandmom Kay got to meet her newest grandbaby, pictured here with Sofie, and with Lily a few years ago.  Wish very much that PopPop were here to meet Sofie, too...he was always overjoyed with Lily (pictured below) and was always such an unconditional encouragement to Matt and I.  


 Thursday Matt and his dad had a chance to go golfing, and today, Casey, Laura, Nico, Matt, Sofie, Lily and I got to go to an indoor play place that Lily just loved.

We've been looking forward for weeks to tomorrow!  Uncle Don and Aunt Brenda are hosting a big pool party at their place for the Sharptown team that came down to Haiti to help us out just a few months ago!  We are very excited to catch up with this dear group of friends, as well as meet their families and catch up with some other friends, too.  And Lily, of course, is just pumped about the opportunity to "swim like a shark with Uncle Don."
It's always really enjoyable for Matt and I to spend time with people who have been to Haiti and loved it (or didn't love it...either way :).  The general public tends to think we're freaks, and spending time with people who have been to Haiti and "get it" is a lot of fun!  Can't wait...

THEN, Sunday we get to finally attend the church that we call home, Sharptown UMC, and Matt will be preaching a few times there!  Busy weekend...
