Full House!

We are so glad that our friends from Tallahassee Josh and Becky Stewart came up to visit us this past weekend with their children. We met Josh and Becky in college before they even got married. We have a lot of history because we were in school together, went to church together, Becky and I worked together (I oriented her in the NICU and she has WAY more experience than I do now....she is an awesome nurse), I was there for all 3 of her deliveries and she was there for both of mine. We always said (or hoped) our children would grow up together....we have to work at it harder now but hopefully with visits like these they will still have special friendships and create fun memories. We had such a good time playing and visiting. When we finally got all the kids in bed (ages 5,4,3, 2 and 1) we often would enjoy our dinner or dessert in peace on the back porch. I was amazed at how easily things flowed. This is one of the first times we have had guests for a period of time that wasn't grandparents. They also visited church with us on Sunday morning. A little odd taking your visitors to visit a new church, but it wasn't bad. We may actually check into this one a little more. We are so grateful that Josh and Becky took part of their vacation and spent it with us.
This picture was after church. Caden didn't want his picture so he covered his face...other than that I thought it wasn't bad.
All the children Elijah(1), Ethan(5), Blake(2), Emma(3), and Caden(almost 4). Once again Caden didn't want his picture so he looked through the binoculars
Caden, Elijah, and Ethan...I just thought this was a great picture.
