On Thursday afternoon Aaron called me to let me know that we were having dinner that night with Uncle Charles and Aunt Angie and their crew. What a pleasant surprise! They were passing through Roanoke on their way to Maryland for Angie's sister's house. We met over in the Valley View Mall area to eat at Smokey Bones. They are an encouraging family.

Uncle Charles, Caitlin (12), Angie, Abby (8), and Caleb (almost 16)

They called us again this afternoon (Sunday) to have dinner with them again tonight on their way back to Greensboro. It was a treat. Uncle Charles (you may remember that he married us) had great insight for us on diversity within a church.
