Hope Tyler is all better today. Sounds like the visit is going well!!
They got here around 5:30pm, and gave me a call from the motel over in the

> everywhere here.) I let them know that dinner would be ready shortly after
> they arrived, and they said they'd be here in 30 minutes.

> So to sum it all up so far, we had a good dinner (a pork roast, cheese
> biscuits, and sweet peas) MIL oohed over some of my jewelry, FIL took Dare
> outside to play catch, and Tyler took his sweet time warming up to them. Of
