Hanging out with the boys......and my BFF!

About a week ago, my best friend came to visit with her two little boys. They live in Turkey and are home in the US for a couple months - we were thrilled to be a stop in their travels! It rained a ton while they were here, so we did have to try to "entertain" as much as possible indoors. This led to a bit of cabin fever, but we all survived. It was so fun to see her boys in person and to have her meet my kids. Every single day since they left, Ezra has asked for them. So sweet!

 Here the three boys are listening intently to a Bible story. Um, just kidding. They are watching a movie. 

 Ezra and Noah high-fiving. Both are not quite two...so they don't have the best aim. 

 Eli tickling Ezra. Eli is just the smartest little kid - and so creative! I don't know how his mom keeps up with him. Made me curious as to what Ez will be like when he's four. 

 Moms' night out! Woo hoo! Jon OFFERED to stay home with all four kids (who miraculously stayed sleeping) while Erika and I went out on the town. In the MINIVAN! Oh my, things have changed since ten years ago when we danced at the Salsa club in Seoul all night long!

 Picnic

 Richly blessed.

Fun times in the splash pad. 

I had anticipated that week for SO long....and then it was over in a flash. But it was a great flash. Come back any time, guys! 

At-Home Therapy

During our playtime at home, there are various activities I am supposed to do with Ez each day. One of them is to keep him entertained while he is in his standing frame. He doesn't love it (you could never tell from this photo) so I try to make it super fun. Watch a  bit of "Cars", play basketball, eat snacks. read special books, color and do stickers. Usually I can make him last an hour without TOO many requests for "all done".

And here is Selah's therapy - tummy time! 

  I feel like I have a lot more to say but I am typing one-handed because OF COURSE Selah decided to wake up and want to eat while I am doing this!
