Sister time
So, for all you are wondering (especially you Bek and Carmen :) )....Anita is here and we're having a great time. The girls went along to pick her up from the airport at 12:30 a.m. Thursday....of course I cried when I saw her, and we were all home in bed by 2:00. The girls behaved amazingly well for being awake in the middle of the night, 4 or 5 hours past their bedtime! They were excited to see Anita- we've been marking the days off on the calendar and looking forward to it for quite awhile. Eliza was cautious for a few minutes checking her out but as usual warmed up fast and now loves giving her hugs and saying "I love you Aunt Nita" 5 times a day or so. Claire and Eliza are both enjoying learning new songs and having books read to them. We loved getting some gifts from home and Morocco (thanks family!) and have already had lots of time for long sister talks. Today we went out for a massage so that was fun and helped with all Anita's moving and airplane sore muscles! We're really looking forward to the rest of her time here!
Tom is busy working on business cards and fliers advertising his English tutoring and having a sign made for our front gate...so pray for students!
Here's a picture - more later.....

No real reason to comment, except to let you know we're still checking and praying for you.

Anita,
Glad you made it safe and sound, and I'm a bit envious of your visit. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time - give everyone a hug and kiss from us.

P.S. Yes, there was a 3rd very handsome couple at the campout, but unfortunately no pictures were taken to post!!

It is awesome to see you two sisters together. I can only imagine that you are having a wonderful time. It was great to get to know Anita and her boyfriend at conference! We pray that this time will be a great encouragement for you, Candice and "Hi!" again Anita.
