My friend
Alicia lives with cornfields and cows around her, and we even got to see her
Amish neighbors with a front yard full of buggies for their Sunday house church
service.
What a joy to see her sweet
family. I love how Alicia has a kid a few years older than ours, and thus has
that jump start in wisdom for how to deal with kids. I love how we always
manage to have a game night involving chocolate and popcorn and some new game
that we usually incorporate in our Swedish family traditions…
And my nephew Josiah came
along and Heath and Blake definitely loved him!
(Mom, can we visit Josiah
in Tennessee?)
The drive there and back, however, was a long one for those three squished in the back...
And I also noticed how
different Lydia is to a big brood of boys; fearful of the motorized car that
touched her foot while the boys are clobbering each other for fun, daintily
picking at her plate while the boys gobble down, and yet all those kids are so
wonderful in their ways.
And both Alicia and Bo’s
parents are always a highlight when we visit; Dan has a great way of
consistenly reminding people to contact their congressmen and stay active in
giving opinions in politics, and we can end it with a plug for Bo’s family business.
Anyone want to order some
grass fed beef? Alicia's in-laws run this company, http://www.valleygrassfed.com/ My parents just got the family pack this past weekend!
