How many more sleeps?

Next week is going to be a busy and exciting week for us.  First of all, two of our favorite people in the whole wide world are staying with us!  I am so excited!  Just for this special occasion I have decided to take the whole week off of work so that I can spend as much time as possible with them before they leave.  Breanna and Emerson, Leah and I can't wait for you to stay with us.  Of course, Dave is pretty darn excited too!
Second, our very good, lovely and exquisite friends return from England!  I am super excited that the Hawkeye's will be in town.  It feels like they have been gone forever, but somehow I still feel like I know every detail of there news lives.
As the anticipation builds for next week I can't help but smile.  The Lew Crew will be back in action.  Even if it is only for a short period of time.
I know if won't be exactly the same as it once was.  But it will be awesome and maybe better because we will make the time count.  This isn't like it once was.  "Oh I'll see you tomorrow."  This will be precious time. This will be time to cherish.  This will be time to hold onto.  This will be time to remember.
