Visit from dad

So, it's been lonely goings here. Things are definitely getting better, but I hit a big patch of lonely a few weeks back. Matthew has this conference on the books this week in Grand Rapids and the thought of being alone in a foreign country with no husband for a week when I don't know ANYONE was borderline unbearable. So, thinking it was a long shot, I emailed my parents to see if either or both of them wanted to come keep me company. My mom just had knee surgery, but my dear faithful father bought a ticket and flew halfway around the world to hang out with us for the week. What a champ. And Calvin is LOVING his papa time.

One thing dad and I are doing lots of is eating. A pastry a day ... that is the rule for visitors :).

We've done a little sightseeing, but it's been pretty low key since the weather has sucked. But we have the promise of sun tomorrow, so we're hopeful!
