There's no place like home

A visit with Vava & co. on the afternoon of her return found everyone greatly relieved to be home again. Vava's room was ready and waiting and the day was topped off with a yummy meal provided by Colleen and Dan. You could just feel the family sinking into the warm familiarity of hearth and home.

Family contingents drove over from Spokane and up from Portland for the weekend, and in addition to the usual suspects from Seattle, Vava visited with her Aunts Nancy and Mary, cousins Lisa and Sam, and Grandma Janice. Grandpa King couldn't make the trip but his prayers fly over the mountains daily.

Marty and Ki are deeply grateful for the meals people have provided, but they cannot always determine how the day will go, thus whether they'll be ready to use the provided meal on a given evening. So-we're now asking that if you are on the dinner schedule, please prepare and package your meal so that it may be frozen and used later if needed. (You may bring your meal frozen if you like.) Of further note: Vava's immune system is compromised, so if you have illness in your household, please do not prepare a meal for her until everyone is healthy again. In any event, super-clean hands and containers (disposable) are essential!
