Our 'Special Visitor' arrives!!!

When we came to Poland, we thought our children would probably visit us, but never in a million years did we think that any of our young grandchildren would be able to make the long trip. A few weeks ago, our daughter told us that they were coming, and they were bringing a big surprise. Not being able to keep a secret like that...we found out it was our granddaughter, Riley!

Riley saw us through the glass doors and bolted through them....leaving her mom and dad collecting the luggage!
I couldn't believe I was really holding her in my arms! Soon, her parents started to appear...
...our daughter, Devin...
...and her husband, Scott!
It was quite the miraculous experience at the airport.....they arrived 15 minutes early and not one bag was lost! A first!
Getting all the luggage home, Devin stands by what was actually theirs. The rest is 'American Stash' for us.......ie: cream of chicken soup, crackers, american candy for the candy jars, peanut butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, marshmellows, Rice Krispies, Red Vines....you get the picture! We are stocked! Thank you, Devin and Scott for all the gathering you did!!!
But the best gift of all was bringing Riley over to see Grandpa and Grandma. It is priceless! I love my family, and I am so glad I belong to a church that enable families to be together forever!

  1. That first photo is PRICELESS! I'm glad that you have some real family visiting, considering you play "mission mom" everyday to our children. You look so incredibly happy--enjoy!

  2. Love this post Judi, it brought tears to my eyes. Isn't having these little ones run into your arms the very best thing in the world? Have fun with all of them.
