It's been a fun week with lots of people coming in town!

Last weekend, Jon's good friends from college, James and Samantha, were here. We hadn't seen them in several years - since before Sarah and their youngest were born. It was so much fun to see them and their 3 boys (Kobus - 6, Kia - 3, and Koen - 16 months). Sarah is still talking about Kobus and Kia!! Ike came up for lunch on Sunday, too. After having him up for dinner once a week for 2 years, we sure have missed him this Fall. Sarah warmed back up to him so quickly!


Once they left, we had 2 quiet days and then Bob, Anna (Jon's sister), Wes, Seth, & Kate came in town. We spent lots of time together at Rob & Liza's, went to the aquarium, watched Penn State lose :( , went to Clumpies and walked on the bridge, and hiked at Lula Lake - all crammed into 2.5 days. It was cold and wet most of their visit, but that didn't stop us from being outside! :) It was so fun having them here!


Alysia and the kids were here for the weekend, so we spent Saturday afternoon/evening with them - including exchanging our Christmas presents.


It's all been a lot of fun! Christmas/New Years is the only chunk of time were Jon is off work when we're at home. Sarah and I are so spoiled from having him around so much. This week will be a reality check as life gets back to normal. I packed up all our Christmas decorations today, and we can all look forward to next year!

Happy 2009!!!!
