Until next time...

My sister-in-law, brother-in-law and niece have been visiting from Rio since Christmas Day.  What a wonderful trip we've had!   The house felt so full with family and love and laughs.  Everyone got along so well and they were ideal guests - easygoing, helpful, appreciative!   They spent so much time playing with J and I know they'll miss that sweet boy a lot when they leave.   It must be said, we're having brutally cold temps here and there hasn't been a single complaint about the weather.  I will try to remember that when I'm whining about the sauna-like temps in Rio.

They are a wonderful family and I know all of our hearts will be a little heavy today as we say goodbye, for now.
