In seven short days my sister Stacey and her family will be here for almost a week and a half. I am so excited. Stacey’s husband is driving with her from Kansas, staying a few days to do vacation stuff in Chicago, and then flying home for a week. That means I get Stacey and her two boys all to myself (well, I will share with my family).

We plan on doing a few fun things but overall it will be a relaxing week of just hanging out and talking. I feel giddy with excitement.
