A Day Away

We took the privileged opportunity to President's Day to go to a dear friend, Kassie and Jacob's house and bombard their clan. Kassie, a fellow "youth pastor's wife" enjoys her three wonderful kids age 4 down to 11months. Jeffrey is 4, Josie is 2 and Josiah is 11 months. So with those three little ones, we highly enjoy group play and discovery. And I'm tell you right now, these are some of the best behaved kids I know - comfortable in love and boundaries. So I love the opportunities, though sometimes far between, that we get to spend time with them. Many times we get the opportunity to enjoy play together amidst a joint-church youth function.

Monday, on the other hand, we joined in their normal schedule, joining them for a pizza lunch (yum), naps and some fun indoor and outdoor play before returning home to our Daddy. While the kids all napped, Kassie and I enjoyed some Mom-time chatting about homeschooling, kids, and life.

It was a wonderfully refreshing time for all to play and enjoy eachothers' company.

I look forward to further hangouts.

Here's a few pictures I took during outside play:

Abi after she "patiently" awaited her turn.

She means business, don't even think about asking for your turn. 

 

 Abi traded her four pink wheels for Jacob's two wheels.

(Jacob had just returned home from a weekend youth function when we were leaving.)

All the kids minus Josiah, who was in the house due to the weather and only being in a onesie (he wasn't feeling so well, poor guy).

Wonderful day had by all. Thanks again, for the invite and the joy, Kassie.
