We were very excited to have a visit from Grandpa Loewen yesterday! We haven't seen him for at least a couple years, and the kids were starting to forget who he was! They seemed confused in their minds that we were talking about "Great" Grandpa! But it didn't take long to win them over again, and they loved him all the same when he came to visit! It was actually an unfortunate set of circumstances that led him to come to Alberta - Lee's sister Shauna had to get surgery for her Collitis, and unfortunately it didn't go very well, and she was bleeding internally and they couldn't seem to stop it. They were worried they were going to have to cut her open to try to repair the damage, but thanks to everyone's prayers - I'm sure - she recovered on her own, and is now doing fairly well. Everyone was worried for her life for a while though, so Ernie came to see her in the hospital. That probably helped her spirits as well. Anyway, we are all happy and relieved to hear she is doing better now - hopefully she'll recover fully soon. And we were happy that Ernie stopped in Calgary on his way home to see us. He came for a nice dinner, got to watch the kids play soccer, and had some good bonding time playing games and stuff with the kids. It was nice to see him again, and he said he and Donna were going to try to visit more often. We'll try to do our part with the visits as well - it's a long drive with a baby, but we're getting close to being out of that stage of life!
By the way, I just had to post BOTH of these pics because I love how the wind is blowing Scarlett's hair in the second one! Ha ha, it looks great!
