This was a fun week for Susan. Her sister just finished up working in South Dakota and came by New Jersey to hang out with her ex-roomie, Kristen, for awhile. So, after church on Sunday Susan drove down to NJ and spent a few days with the girls. We cooked yummy food, played fun games (our cousin taught Claire FLUXX and she taught it to Susan - that is an intense game - you have to keep your wits about you!), and overall just relaxed and hung out. Claire and Kristen went tubing down the river on Saturday and they got sun burnt extremely badly, so our hang out time was punctuated by frequent visits to CVS for more aloe vera. We've always wanted to get a hard-sided suitcase and put flag stickers on it from all of the countries we've been to. For the job in South Dakota, Claire bought such a suitcase so we proceeded to buy a dozen or so flag stickers online to start Claire's collection. Another reason why this is a fun week is because one of our parents celebrates their birthday this week. We couldn't be there in person, but we're happy to celebrate vicariously with them.
