Visitors

We have had quite a bit of company lately. My sister and niece were here last Wednesday and Thursday, then my cousin Kendall came and stayed with us from Friday - Sunday. It was so much fun to have her here. She is 12 years old and I don't have any cousins even close to my age, but Kendall and I are really close. It was great to get to spend time with her. We did all sorts of "girly" things. Her mom doesn't cook, and she really wanted to learn how so I taught her how to make a casserole, bars, and she even helped me can salsa!


Today was my best labor day in a while. Other than last labor day when I was in the hospital with my pregnancy complications ( so that doesn't really count) this was my first labor day off from work in four years. Yes, the bank I work at is open on labor day (and other holidays, and Saturdays, and Sundays even)! Monte's parents came for most of the day, then our friend Sister Mary Edwin came to visit. We met her last year when I was on bedrest and in the hospital, she would always bring me communion - she's so wonderful! She said today that she would really like to babysit Isabella. How great is that, this could solve our problem as to who is going to watch Isabella when I'm working and Monte can't do it! I couldn't think of anyone better to do it! What a good influence on Isabella too.
