Meet the Burrs

Jenn & Josh arrived tonight!

We weren't quite sure of their arrival time or even which bus station they were arriving at, but we made an educated guess and sure enough- they made it safely to Bangor 'round about 9:15 PM. Debbie and Chris can finally say they've met Josh! And they've taken to him immediately, like I knew they would.

The trip was originally to visit us for a week or so, but because of a couple of interesting additions to our schedule, tonight Josh got to meet Jenn's Aunt Karen, Uncle Dave and Cousin Kevin (they came to visit us for Labor Day weekend). Next weekend, he gets to meet Jenn's Uncle Howie, Aunt Pat and Cousin Tricia. There's a few more Burrs out there, but I guess they'll have to wait for a later time.

Next weekend we head to New Jersey for the dedication of our last appointment's new corps building. Along the way, we pass right through many of Jenn's old stomping grounds so she'll get to show Josh around some of her memories.

Tomorrow it's out to sight-see Maine's Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain! Then we'll head home for our traditional Labor Day cookout on the back deck.

Welcome home, Jenn! Welcome home, Josh! It's so good to have you with us (in more ways than one).

Today was the most beautiful day we have ever experienced on the mountain! HA! We could see you in Vancouver from up there!
