My calendar gets filled fast with family and friend outings, babysitting, visits to my mother's house, birthdays, church callings, everyday chores, appointments, and other obligations. But life is short, and we have to fill it up with things that make us happy.
Sam's family came to visit the day after Christmas this year and stayed for a week. We always love their visits.
