It was such a gift to get to have Matt's sister and her family here for a few months. Since Alistair is from England, and they met in Romania, they live overseas, which means we only get to spend time with them every couple of years. Skype is great but nothing compared to regular time together in person.
We really enjoyed having just the three of them over one evening while Alistair was here (for the last of the 3 months that Alison and Abby were here). Caleb and Abby became best buddies, and seemed more like brother and sister. They had so much fun together and we also experienced the normal transitions and stages of two year olds in our times together....some pretty emotional and intense moments.
Caleb wasn't too sure about Uncle Al when he first met him, but it took about one or two interactions for him to become one of his favorite people of all time. He actually started asking to see Uncle Al more than Abby, which was quite amazing. We all enjoyed some great, deep talks about life and God together.
And of course lots of laughs!
Caleb constantly asks about Aunt Alison, Uncle Al and Abby. In face, he's in bed "going to sleep" right now and I just heard him saying their names. Hopefully it's not too long until we get to spend some more quality time together again. We love you guys! Thanks for coming to our end of the world for a while. Treasured Moments.
