It has been about a few weeks since Auntie Noelle last visited, and the kids have really missed her.  Every day Franny has asked when Auntie would be coming, and Cole has been asking frequently, as well.   But, today was the day, and she came with all the necessary supplies to make pinecone bird feeders to hang outside.  Franny was tired, as is normal for a school day, but she was in one of the happiest moods I’ve seen her in lately.  Auntie is very special to Franny, and that is always most apparent when she visits, or when we feel her absence.  Fortunately, today was one of the days where we could enjoy having her with us.  It is never long enough, but thankfully, we will see her again next week.  I think both Franny and Cole will be counting the days!
