Sister Time!

I only have one sister.

And, as it happens, one brother as well.

Just the three of us.  And, since my sister lives in California,

we don't have much (in the flesh) sister time.

We chat on the phone and text, but, it's not the same thing
as an in-person visit.  Definitely not quite as good.

My brother lives only five minutes away.

Brother time is easier to orchestrate.  And, it is a good thing.

But, this post is not about that.  :)
The three of us together is an extremely rare treat.

My sister has hosted us multiple times in her home.

Click here and here and here and here and here for proof of that.

So, a little reciprocal hospitality was in order.

First, their girl arrived.  Ahead of her parents.  On a plane.  Alone.

The rest of her family followed behind a little over a week later by car.

They stayed with us for a total of nine nights.

The days and nights were full of activity.

Some of that activity involved us, and some didn't.

Since my sister and her hubby both grew up here,

they had many people to see.  Many people to catch up with.

A few nights, we were already in bed when they arrived home.
They didn't wake us up on their way in ~ so quiet and considerate.

They left exhausted.

But, happy.  I think?  ;-)

We are looking forward to another visit soon.

The house has gotten strangely quiet in their absence.

Family truly is a blessing from the Lord.

With Love,
Camille
