A VISIT FROM FRIENDS IS A BLESSING

WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE OUR DEAR FRIENDS
WHO WE MISS SO MUCH.....
COME FOR A VISIT, ALL OF THE WAY FROM COLORADO
 Kate and I met for morning Mass wearing almost the EXACT same outfit!
In fact, Kate is 7 months pregnant and I had Gracie Ann with me in her kangaroo pouch.....so, not only did our clothes match almost perfectly.......We each had a baby bump.....
Only my bump just happened to be EXTERNAL
(Here is a pic of my external baby bump from earlier that day)

Wearing Gracie Ann (as with each of my babies) has always been  one of my most favorite things in this world.  I feel so close to them, as I can hear their tiny baby breaths and they can feel and hear the beating of my heart.
It reminds me of when they were growing inside of me, way back when I got to have them ALL to MYSELF

NICHOLAS AND WILL
 Sweet Friends
(Nicholas, Will, John Paul)
They even got to serve at Mass together.....just like old times
What a special blessing from Jesus
Hmmmm....What do these boys have in mind for the day?
Air-soft battle

FISHING AND "FALLING" INTO THE CREEK
Nicholas, Will, and Christopher went to catch tadpoles for fishing when they, for some reason ALL ended up IN the creek......the story was quite sketchy but what mom doesn't love the way boys are having the most fun, when muddy
My favorite part was when they had to hose each other off with freezing cold water before they could come inside of the house

A Super Fun Day Indeed
To Our Dear Wheaton Family,
We are sad to say goodbye, but feel blessed to have been able to spend some time with you during your visit.  We think about you and pray for you every day.  We cannot wait until we can see you again.

Thank You, Most Gracious and Loving Father,  for blessing us so abundantly with good friends, who bring such joy and happiness to our lives

Good Bye Wheaton Family....
TEXAS WILL MISS YOU AND SO WILL WE...(Even more)
