A Surprise Visit
Last weekend we had quite a surprise...Our Uncle Mark from Tennessee was in Houston on business and drove over to our place for two days! I had to muster all the self control within me not to open and use the new digital camera that Anthony purchased! We wanted him to have the "first rights" privilege of opening and assembling his dream "toy" :) Brandon and Anthony spent the weekend in Mexico on their first ever "mini" missions trip. We were all happy for them to have the opportunity but not coveting was hard for some of us left behind :)
Uncle Mark made our weekend! He played with and read to the kids, taught me how to drive our stick shift truck, bought some delicious food and made us laugh as always. He did give us all a scare when we woke up on Saturday morning to the sound of our washing machine running...he threw a load of his white dress shirts in...oh no! Our water is full of rust and all our whites are taken to the laundromat on a weekly basis. Waiting for the outcome was scary but thankfully, nothing was ruined!
Nathan and Rebecca came out for an evening of delightful conversation...and we even sang some selections from the Phantom of the Opera!
We look forward with eager anticipation to the next business trip! Thanks Uncle Mark for the sweet memories...the time was too short but every minute was a blessing...we love you!
P.S. Our next post will include pics from our new camera...yay, yay!
