We slept a little late today, so we made it to the late service. However, before we headed to church, the kids gave Mirjan their cards and gifts. They were probably more excited than Mirjan! The kids and I picked up a little bit before we left, because there was a surprise coming later in the day.
After church, Mirjan was getting ready to take Emma a nap, and the doorbell rang. It was Pops and Mama Elise with a huge bouquet of flowers. Mirjan was speechless. Surprise! They were driving across country and timed it perfectly! So, we spent the day with them...and their little dog. They took us out to dinner to celebrate Mirjan's 35th or 38th or 22nd or something birthday. Will and Marielk stopped by the restaurant and brought Mirjan some flowers and a gift. That was so nice of them, and Mirjan was really happy.
The evening was relaxing, but definitely not quiet. It's never quiet at our house, and I'm thankful.
Here are some pictures from the day:
It seemed like a short day, but fun. I'm glad that we were able to spend time with them today, and it looks like we will spend a week with them in August too! It was a good day.
Father, thank you for the blessing of love and family. Thank you for the blessing of a wonderful wife and a day to celebrate her. I ask that you be with Pops and Elise and let them have safe travels. Please continue to strengthen Ryan's body and keep him healthy. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
