Sadie

Julie, John and Sadie came to visit this afternoon. This picture tells the whole story of why we so enjoy being with her. Soon after the picture was taken, she rolled over onto her back which she seems to enjoy doing. She sat on my lap for a while and was impressed with a logo on my shirt but was anxious to get down on the floor to play. Elaine held her for a while also as she gets to know and recognize our looks and voice. She recognizes her Mother and Dad from some distance. It was a great family day. Verlon called soon after lunch, Mary called just before Owens' got here, Carolyn stopped by soon after they left and then Tim called later. Brother Don also called to add to the pleasure of a lot of "Family time" today. We even finished our Christmas Letter today and got several of them in the mail this afternoon. Our list has narrowed over the years but there is no measure of the pleasure we have in receiving them. I only hope that those we send provide some measure of that same pleasure.
