A visit from Nana and Papa

My Dad is waiting for a Kidney transplant this spring, and because of that, wont be able to travel much in the next few months. So while they wait, we had the privilege of them coming to us for a visit! We had such a great time with them! Our kids really love being surrounded by family. We don't get to see my parents as much as I would like, they live in BC so in order to see one another there is a lot of travelling required. So it's always a treat when we get to spend time together. Watching my kids interact with them really reminds me of my childhood. All of my grandparents live in Northern Ireland, so we only ever saw them if we went on holidays to see them or if they came to us. Although I would of really liked to grow up with them living close, having them far away made our visits so much sweeter. Your time together becomes a lot more intentional, and I love that. Plus, our kids get just as spoiled as I did by my grandparents! It's fun to relive it but from a different perspective. There was a lot of coffee shop visits, eating at chicken chef (your welcome, Dad), going for walks, wrestling, swimming, and shopping. It's always hard to say goodbye, but, Lord willing we will heading their way in a few weeks to be with my parents as my Dad undergoes the kidney transplant. We would appreciate prayer for that, and for the donors family. What a gift they are giving our family! Next up: a visit from my Brother and Sister in law!

Anyways, I thought I would share some pictures of our time together...because I know you are all dying to see them ;)
