This photograph was taken at a Helbling Family Reunion in August 2017, the last time our three adult children were all back home in Faribault. Here my husband and granddaughter play bean bag toss. Minnesota Prairie Roots file photo 2017.
TWO FLY IN from Boston. One drives 260 miles from Madison, Wisconsin. Three arrive from an hour away.
They will all be here on Saturday. In my southern Minnesota home. It will be the first time in 15 months that we have all been together—our once nuclear family plus a son-in-law, a granddaughter and the son’s girlfriend.
I cannot wait.

Thank you, Rachel. Now as long as the snow holds off and we can get to and from the airport without difficulty, all will be good. It’s snowing right now.

Thank you, Valerie. I look forward to sharing with you in person next week and hearing all about your family returning to the U.S.
Such a beautiful Kodak moment.
It was. And now that little girl is 2 1/2 already and soon to become a big sister to a little brother.
I’m so excited for you! Those family times together are the BEST.
As you well know…
Wonderful to hear.
[Make sure everyone helps with dishes though.] 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh, they always help with dishes because there’s no dishwasher in this house except the kind with digits.
I’m taking a break right now from a morning in the kitchen and washing lots of dishes. Gotta feed the crew.
Hope you had a fabulous weekend!
We did. It’s been absolutely beyond wonderful.
I cannot wait to hear about your fun! So much joy all at once.
I’m working on a post now, between washing clothes and cleaning.
