jasmine and juliana and the park

We got to meet Kathryn, the girls she nannies for, and her family at Hanes Park today. It's been a hard day and took us a while to get out of the house, but we had fun. Jonah LOVES Jasmine and Juliana, and we are very very sad that they will be moving away in about ten days. 

It hit me today that these girls are probably his best friends and the kids he plays with the most. We've had numerous play dates and have been to SciWorks with them a couple of times. He just loves them so much.

And they are just so so sweet to him and love him so much too. Kathryn says they ask about him and want to come over all the time.

We sure will miss you, Sweet Girls. You'll always hold a special place in this sentimental momma's heart. Thank you for loving my boy and seeing past his boo boos. Praying he will have many friends in his future who have wonderful hearts, just like yours.

And when you come back our way to visit, tell your Momma we better be on the list! :)

an evening out(doors)

Tonight we went to my friend Jeannie's house for dinner. Jeannie and David are my best friend Kathryn's parents, and I probably spent as much time at their house as I did at my own growing up. Kathryn and I were talking tonight about how great her parents' yard is, and how we took it for granted growing up. We played outside ALL the time, but I don't think either of us really realized until we were adults just how wonderful their property is. Tons of flowers, bushes, lots of land, and a huge yard. The woods back up to her house, and we spent hours as kids playing in the creek down in the woods.

It was great getting to take Jonah there and share with him a piece of my childhood. And it was GREAT hanging out with Kathryn, her parents and my mom for the evening. Jonah had a blast, and was, once again, a complete angel. He loves being outside... as you can see.

Kathryn and Jonah. Jonah is IN LOVE with Kathryn.

He played on this blanket the whole time we ate dinner and even let us enjoy dessert.

Yay Jonah! (That child is so proud of himself for learning to clap.)

Hope your Saturday was as sunny as ours. Can't wait for church tomorrow!
