This past weekend, Stewart and I celebrated some pretty cool people. He flew up to Virginia to celebrate Grandfather Raring's 100th birthday! How amazing is that? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go along this time but I was able to meet Grandfather when Stewart and I were in Virginia for Christmas. He even put on his Christmas sweater for us (which I find funny because Stewart put on his Christmas sweater for Grandfather!). Grandfather is still in great health and flirted with the little old ladies at the assisted living. I find it amazing that he's 100 and in much better shape/health than some people in their 70s!
The day that Stewart left for Virginia also happened to be the day that we welcomed our newest niece into this world! My sister, Mandy, her husband, Sam, and their two boys, Lee and James, are proud to have Zoe Elizabeth join their family. This little girl is going to be so spoiled and protected by her big brothers. Stewart and I can't wait to meet Zoe in person!
Sometimes, we get frustrated by the constant delays that we experience. At the same time, we try to remember that everything happens for a reason. If we weren't in the states, Stewart wouldn't have been able to go to Virginia for Grandfather's celebration and we would have to wait to meet Zoe until our next visit home.
