Night with friends...

It was special to have our friends, Michael & Tammy, along with their cute kiddos, stop in last night on their way to AZ. Our kids remember them from 2 years ago & have heard plenty of stories & prayers for their family. We are blessed to count them as friends & had a great evening talking, laughing, sharing, and just being with them! We made home-made ice cream. The neighbor girl even showed up in time for the fun. ;) The best part is cleaning off the paddle. It's hard work, but someone's got to do it!


Phil & I have come to realize that our "baby" isn't a baby anymore. He'll be in Kindergarten this year & we miss (aspects of...) the toddler years. I would have loved to keep this cute lil' thing around & Abbie fell in love with him! She even took his picture & captured his silly smile...

Grace remembers Joanna from a couple of years ago. She is pen pals with an Amish girl & asked today how long it takes for letters to get to China. :)
