I’ve got lots of summer catch-up to do, but we’re most excited because our family is coming into town from Germany on Sunday! Aron’s sister and our nephews arrive first, followed by our brother-in-law shortly thereafter. We’re so looking foward to seeing them in person after so much time apart. We’re going to sneak in a couple of babysittting nights this weekend before they arrive and then do our best to make up for lost time. Hope you have a great weekend! Be safe, be well, get vaccinated…
