Family Visits Rock!

My oldest son and his wife, despite the challenging weather we're having, made it in to visit this week, woo hoo!  Their drive was not a short one, and the Mrs. is expecting in May, so I was happy when they arrived.  I was also very happy that our power came back on just before they got here (we lost it for quite a few hours from the winter storm that passed through), so the house was nice and toasty when they got in.

We also had a snow day yesterday, and what better to do on a snow day, than go play in the snow!  Just like when my second oldest son came to visit, the kids went out to the backyard for some fun in the fluffy white stuff.

I took the youngest out first, and it wasn't long before big brother followed (while the rest of the house was content to see what they could see through the window of the warm house).

Big brother's more fun than mom.

Right away he started in with the 'cool' stuff, throwing snow, taking little man down the hill on his back:

There's a little one on his back, lol!

 Doing handstands and flips:

 Letting little man tackle him with brute force: ;)

And dancing... I think?  lol

Then his wife came out to watch for a little bit.  She's due in May and is having a wonderful pregnancy (and she looks cute too!).

 And then we headed back up to the house, but not before little man got one more 'sneak attack' in. :)

Having my son and his wife here is always a treat.  And this is the first time in a long time my oldest has had hair, lol!!  He has a new position in the military that allows him to grow it out, and after seeing him for so many years without any, it was a nice surprise.

I always count my blessings, but any time the kids are around, my cup runneth over.  :)

Happy Thursday!
