Even though we spent Christmas in KC away from family, it was a rather special week. I had to work on Christmas day, so we had an early Christmas Eve with Legos, Operation, and Mr. Bean. After raking in double time & a half on Tuesday, we snuggled on the sofa and savored the Bourne movies. Much couch potato-ing those two days.
However, on Sunday night before Christmas, we had a visit from our friends Kurt & Cheri from NYC. It was great to see them. Monday they built a gingerbread house with Titus and hung out before going on to Oklahoma to see Kurt's parents. The best thing was that they stopped again on their way back to NYC. When they came on Thursday, they announced that they would stay an extra night...YIPPEE! So we had a great little tour of KC, riching in Mission Hills, a stroll on the Plaza, and BBQ at our favorite local place. It was so refreshing to have dear old friends with us. We look forward to visiting them on spring break in March for 1) Kurt's birthday 2) St. Patrick's Day - which is also Kurt's birthday and 3) Cheri's completion of design school.
Sandwiched in between was a dinner with Ray's old friends Pete & Trudi Matthews and their 4 kids. We had a great meal and even better conversation. Definitely a night where the presence of Christ was felt around the table. Peter is now an Anglican priest in Lexington.
I know that's just kind of a newsy post. I hope to get some pix from Cheri soon to add so that you can see proof of my existence. It has been many moons since I have been caught on camera...
