fun times with good friends


we made it home safe and sound... and tired! i have so many pictures i want to post... i'll do a select few (haha) tonite... we had so much fun visiting eric and kristi and the kids. i was reaaaaaaally hoping that baby #3 would come while we were visiting, but he/she is just too comfy inside mommy right now. (kristi begs to differ!) it was such a blessing to see our kids play together again and to just be together with our friends. we worshiped with them at their huge, wonderful church on sunday, and one night we went downtown to pig out on bbq!! we walked so far i was sure that kristi was gonna have that baby!! i got to go with her and lydia to her midwife appointment, which was some fun girl time while brian stayed home with the boys... on the last night we were there, kristi and i got this second wind around 10:30 to start hanging pictures and arranging things on her mantle... so typical of us!! we also took some HYSTERICAL pictures with eric's laptop on photo booth... once he sends them to me, i will surely post them. so stinkin hilarious........ i almost forgot the kids' "dance party" right before bedtime-- how is it that dads know just how to get the kids all wound up before bed??? it was a pretty funny sight.

it was hard to leave, but at the same time, i was ok because i know that they are where they need to be. God has blessed them time and time again just in the short couple of months since they've moved. as much as i wish they were still just down the street, i am thankful for cell phones and email to keep in touch. we're already talking about meeting somewhere in january so we can see the new babies! i'm so thankful for our precious friends. i could have stayed a month.

during our travels, we also visited other friends and witnessed the marriage of john and jennifer.... i'll post those pictures soon, hopefully! enjoy these for now.

kristi- 38 weeks, me- 31 weeks


playtime in steven's room...

the buddies together again!


can ya tell it's naptime?


after our looong walk downtown!


the kids were so excited about the fountain!


lydia wouldn't stop talking about throwing pennies in the fountain!
then she found rocks to throw,
which saved her mom and dad some money. :)


this one of ethan is a little blurry,
but it's just such a precious shot to me.


here's the dance party gettin' started...


there was no stopping these maniacs!

steven strikes a pose... don't hurt yourself, buddy!

This is the best post you have ever written! hahaha just kidding ;) I had to say that! We had so much fun, too, and I'm sure everyone can tell! Does anyone else think it's hilarious that there is a little "turtle" in the fountain behind us?! hahahaha Well, God knows best, and although we'll miss each other's babies being born, I know we will still feel like we're there (especially if we turn on the ichat - haha!) Your visit was truly "good like a medicine!" (maybe not pitocin, but that's besides the point!) ha! We love you, and Brian, and Ethan, and Caroline!!! :) Love, Kristi
