Special Weekend Guests

Uncle Jason, Auntie Joni, Enzo and Julia came up this weekend! We are always so delighted when they come. Marshall and Shaylen were really looking forward to playing with Enzo. The basement always looks very much lived in when the kids have been down there for a while. You definitely have to watch your step. I love it that we have a basement that the kids can have a blast in.

It's always so much fun to have a house full of good friends. Having the Pileggis come up means that we get to "make" Mike and Brenda Bowman andAuntie Janelle over. These friends are good medicine for us.

This time we managed to convince Mike that he had to bring red meat (read that: steak) for dinner on Friday night. He obliged us and we savored every bite of steak (and chicken) that had been marinated in his magic marinade. (Are you drooling yet?)

Marshall and Shaylen took even more interest in Julia this time and offered to help Auntie Joni feed her. It was hilarious to see Auntie Joni, Marshall and Shaylen all opening their mouths to encourage Julia to take her bite of baby food.

On Saturday the guys were gracious in offering to watch the kids during naptime (Enzo and Julia) and quiet time (Marshall & Shaylen) so that Joni, Janelle and I could go and visit at Starbucks. What a treat! This is starting to become a tradition with us girls. I'm certainly not arguing!

Jason and Joni visited Cornerstone on Sunday morning and then attended Heritage on Sunday night as they started their trek home to Mass. It was so good to see them there in the congregation and get a one last ounce of fellowship with them before they had to head home.
