They're in the House!

Dave and I left from church today to head to the train station in Ostrava. We've got some special people coming in!

Caleb, Haley and Charlie!!!

They've all been in Bratislava with Haley's whole family, celebrating Christmas there. Her mom and dad serve with Josiah Venture too, while her sister and husband live in Ireland, her next brother is going to Bible college in Ireland, and her youngest brother is in his second year at Moody in Chicago! So it's super special that they could all be together this year.

And now we get to have them!

We last saw Charlie in person when he was here with his mom and dad in September. When you're two, a few months makes a big difference!

If I had to pick one toy that has been played with more than anything else from what I have, it would be this funny little Fisher Price monster! I don't know what it is about it that draws them back, time and again! But sure enough, it was the first thing Charlie went to find in my kid's corner!

Since Charlie doesn't see us in person as often as our other two grandsons, I try to make sure he and I get some special connecting time whenever he comes. Meanwhile, grandson number 2 climbs up on the coffee table, unbeknownst to me taking the picture at the time! 😂 😂 😂

Everyone arrived in time to make dinner together, and we're having our traditional Patty Family Christmas Eve dinner of fajitas and Dr. Pepper!

It's so special to be all together again for this Christmas celebration!
