Today's Adventure

Today, we took a family road trip to see some old friends. One of our dear friends from two towns ago is within driving distance visiting her family, so we jumped at the chance to see her. Michele and her four kiddos are in the area, and it was so great to see her, although we missed seeing her husband, Thom. He's home holding down the fort and remodeling the bathroom, among other things! Michele, Anabelle, Carey Mae, Hamilton, and Ricky are staying with Michele's sister and her three kids. So, with our two, there was a crew of nine kids in the house, ages 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 3, 1, and 1. Things were hopping, to say the least! I'll post some fun pictures soon. And if you are ever out here within driving distance of our home and wonder whether we'd drive to see you, we would! We'd jump at the chance, just like we did today. To see previous visits, see June 2007 and December 2006.

Jeff and I had fun doing some grownup chatting and catching up, Grace enjoyed eating and napping, and Jonathan was enamored with 9-year-old Riley's Legos. She was very gracious to share with him and also to teach him a few things on their Wii. Jonathan had been saving up for the Fire Helicopter set, which will take him a few months, but he has changed his mind and set his sights on the Galactic Enforcer. It's for age 7-12, but he is convinced that he can handle it. It will take him many, many, many months, but he has a very focused personality and I'm sure he'll do it if he decides to do it.

The Galactic Enforcer, part of the Space Police series. More fun photos soon...probably after Easter.
