olivia's mom and grandma are coming to see us the first of october. i can't wait to see them in person. to hug them, and have long conversations that are not over the phone or email. i imagine us having coffee in the morning leisurely, and planning our day out. not sure of what to do, but filling them up with time with each other.
grandma is coming at the end of the month and i asked her what she wanted to do. 'kiss the kids and play with the kids, kiss the kids and play some more....and kiss you too.'
we made chains (like you would in elementary school for christmas) and we rip a link off every day as we get closer to their arrival. we dream of what we'll do when they come. we talk about what we want to show them, the kids talk about what they want to play with them.
and for now, it keeps us going. through our sickness and our constant owies. through our long hours of study and work. we're so grateful they are coming to see our world...to see us.

can't wait! Court
I'm jealous.
Oh Nat...
We too are looking forward to just "being" with all of you.
Not trying to condense it into an email or phone call.
Your faithfulness in walking with us and still allowing us to talk about Olivia is priceless.
See you in 17 days!!
Love,
Bev aka Olivia's grandmother
Hey Natalie - I found your blog off of Robb's email. I tore up the house this past weekend looking for your number but it seems it went the way of so many of my papers...
We want to have you guys over soon but both kids are now sick. When they are better it would be nice to have your family over here and even get the kids together for some fun!
