At the end of January my mom flew to Alaska to speak at the womens retreat at Tanalian Bible Camp. We had a wonderful week-end of fun and laughter and tears as my mom guided the group through building our house to last through the seasons of life.
My mom detoured to Dillingham after the retreat to stay with us for a week. We had such fun visiting, laughing, playing games and loving on each other! The kids adored having Grammy here and shortly after she left I was asked when Papa (my dad) would be coming to visit. When I said that Papa is not fond of cold and snow, the boys quickly decided that we would have to go to him!
What a blessing it was to get to see my momma three times in one year! Although we keep in close touch by phone and email and mail, it is not often that we get to spend time together face to face. We had Kendra's wedding in October, then we visited California right after the wedding, then mom came to AK in January. God is so good!
