Dave and Diane's Visit

Dave and Diane drove out to visit us a little over a week ago all the way from Colorado.  With them, they brought boxes from Jed's childhood/high school experiences.  Though we have not opened them yet, I am sure that many treasures and memories will be found.

They also got to experience a little slice of life here with us and our life here in Skokie.  They visited both of our schools, walked/drove around our neighborhood, went to church with us, partook in several local restaurants, sat on our deck, and took it easy hanging out around our home.

Both of them were a huge help to us with our house as well.  Dave did a lot of electrical work around the house including fixing faulty/backwards outlets, adding outlets in the kitchen, installing light fixtures around the house, put in a ceiling fan in our bedroom, and much more.  Diane helped to cook a lovely meal, stocked us up on food and supplies around the house, and of course took care of our dear Oliver and kept him entertained and happy by letting him romp around in the backyard.

Here they are with Jed in front of his school.
My family came over to dinner for a night - how nice it was to all get to be together sharing such delicious food!
