One of the very hardest things about being in Italy was being so far away from grandparents. We value them and their role in our kids' lives so much. Now that we're only one time zone away, instead of seven, we hope to make up for lost time. Grandma and Papa Simmons will be coming back for Christmas and Grandma Phipps will be coming at the end of December for Hannah's birthday.
All of us are treasuring this specific blessing of being back in America. We treasure it even more, perhaps, since we didn't know it for such a season.
It was a great week.

It's so true how valuable those grandparent relationships are, especially after being far away. Our children have really enjoyed living closer to their grandparents since our return to the US, too. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.
