The Shiner's!

May 24th- Saturday morning we drove to Scranton, PA (another bucket list to-do) to visit Gary and Lenore Shiner! (A amazing couple that Justin taught and baptized while on his mission.) We had such a great time with them. They treated us like royalty (to say the least)- we were fed fabulous food, given their room to sleep in the night we were there, and they had everything and anything us and the kids could have possibly needed while we were there.

The wonderful brunch Lenore served us as soon as we walked in the door mid-morning on Saturday.

All of us (including the Shiner's youngest daughter, Carla and her little boy). It was so much fun to catch up, relax, and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Saturday night we went to dinner at an amazing Italian restaurant that Pat, Carla's husband manages. It was so delicious!

Gary and Aisley. :)

Both of our kids warmed up to Gary and Lenore right away and just loved being held and spoiled by them!

And this is Eleanor- a friend and neighbor of the Shiner's who joined us for dinner and then came over to visit with us at the Shiner's house after. What a sweet lady Eleanor is! And I feel so blessed that I was able to meet her and get to know her a little bit. She loved the kids, especially Aisley, and held her the whole time she was at the Shiner's house and just kept saying over and over, "What a good baby she is! I could just hold her all night! I could just keep her! What a good girl! So happy, so sweet!" It was the cutest thing!

May 25th-

My new church shoes- that turned out to be too small! (But aren't they sooo cute?!) I was in pain all throughout church with the Shiner's on Sunday and ended up exchanging them for a bigger size the first chance I got once back in Maryland.

 We LOVE you Gary and Lenore Shiner! Thank you soooo much for a great visit! Until next time!
