Ah, the love of grandparents is miraculous to be sure. For anyone who knows my dear mother-in-law, they will hardly believe that this is her...outside...in North Dakota...in January. We were so happy Rob's parents were willing to fly out and visit us, especially since they brought some "warm" weather with them and we got a respite from the sub-zero temperatures we'd been having. The kids were thrilled as always to play with grandma and grandpa, and we enjoyed lots of good food, roaring fires, and our first family ice skating adventure. It was a short visit, but we all loved it! Maybe next year we can visit them in their sunny southern region - that would only be fair, right?
