April was the month of visitors. Here's the rundown. The first week of April Michael's mom and dad came into town. They stayed with us one night and then went to stay with some old ward friends the next day. The following day Mark and Teandra flew in from Indiana and were staying at the same place as mom and dad. Becky also joined them. Martin unfortunately wasn't able to come out. Why did they come you ask? I will say for four reasons. 1) Cousin Craig got married and we were all able to go to his sealing and reception here in Utah. 2) Celebrating Grandma Coates (Michael's grandma, mom's side) 80th birthday. 3) Cousin Janelle (the above mentioned Craig's sister) also was getting married. We were able to go to her bridal shower and reception but not her ceremony because she was got married in the San Diego temple-wish we could have gone though! and 4) To visit us of course :).
(for blogging and understanding sake I will refer to Michael's mom by her name, Adel. Although I do call her mom as well :) )
Adel stayed pretty much the whole month of April. She was very very busy while she was here. And for the most part her health was keeping up with all that she had to do. She spent tons of time with myself, Noelle and Mikey. Michael still had to work and had to finish classes and finals so he stayed pretty busy but still was able to spend some quality time with his mom. She was also kept busy helping Becky move to a new home in Provo and look for a job and a car. Becky was also able to stay with us for a good portion of April. It was so great having them here. We never see them and unfortunately we haven't been able to fly out recently either. Mikey and Noelle had grown a ton since everyone saw them last. We do see Becky more often though, considering she only lives about 40 minutes away without traffic.
Noelle had a so much fun playing with everyone. She of course loved the attention. I think she is understanding more how everyone is far away. She'll often say how she misses her Grandma and Grandpa Pfeil. Even though we live so far from everyone it didn't take very long for the kids to warmup to them. April seemed so busy and flew by. We are so grateful that everyone was able to be here (we missed you Martin!) and spend so much time with us. Hopefully it won't be this long until we see them all again. Love you Pfeils!!
