Bonner visit 09/2010 The Delaware Aunts and Grandma

were able to meet Kristin, Linden and reconnect with

David, Barb and Duane.

It started out rocky with Duane arriving and not feeling good.

Then it rained and it rained and the wind blew and it rained some more.

We have not had rain for weeks and weeks!!

So thank you for bringing the rain with you.

Of course the day they left it was gorgeous.

Linden took to Pattie and Katie. I on the other hand

had to wait a few days. But that's ok, I understand babys.

She is still lots of fun to watch and look at (from a distance).

She was after all pretty much mobbed by us all. Katie during

the days and Pattie and I at night time.

I was always around at bedtime.

She is adorable and a very happy little girl.

Mom and I did get to babysit while everyone went to church.

Once it was bedtime mom took over and rocked her.


Of course we argued over who was better at that.

And mom finally pulled out her magic "wammie"

and she fell asleep.

This was one of those special memories I will cherish forever.

Mom rocked, sang, and talked to Linden (for longer than we should have).

Listening to mom and the love in her voice touched my heart.

And that was all I needed from the visit. Those hours alone with

the two of them were wonderful.

I was course was the one to walk her upstairs after she fell asleep.

I am happy that that was a success!!!

She slept through the night like an angel and so did Linden!!

We had a busy week outside of the visit. Kyle was preparing for a

FFA soup and sandwich fund raiser. Which was awesome!!!

We were

all able to gather for dinner Thursday night.

The baby, the kids, the new kids (Becky, Kristen) the

sisters, the brother in laws, and grandma.

We missed Katie and Jake. Both out earning their $$$

Mom has learned how to use my camera. I am actually getting the hang of it

and this was a trial run before the wedding next week.

My house seems to be yellow in the pictures. I am sure I have a setting wrong

or something.

Friday night I realized I did not get a family picture.

So As all were headed upstairs or home and took this one.

Barb and Duane you are truly blessed.

Your family has grown leaps and bounds with all the love you two have shared and lived.

They are passing that on in their lives.

Thank you.

See you all in California for the NANCY/CASSEY wedding!!!
