visit with an old friend

An old friend came to visit over the Thanksgiving holiday, and my he has grown.  Connor is a full head taller than both girls and he isn't four anymore.  We were so excited when Jane texted last week and asked if they could come visit us over the weekend, that we even left our hometown early and missed the night Christmas parade so we could have breakfast with Connor, Jane and Brian.  They moved four years ago to Missouri.  I cannot believe it has already been four years, but so glad we all picked up right where we left off.  R2 made a new friend in Mr. Brian and they had fun assembling Thomas puzzles and playing helicopter games.

sad day

Today is a sad day for us in the RFF, our friends the Calfy's are officially on their way to Missouri.  We have known Brian and Jane since before we had children.  The kids have spent the past 4 1/2 years together.  I know this is the best thing for their family, but we are so sad to see them go.  We pray the Lord to bless you & keep you!  We love you and cannot wait to come visit.

it's whats for dinner

Landry: What's that?

Mama: It's chicken. 

long pause

Landry:  I want pizza.

Connor: Is it dead?

All 3 of them ate it and asked for seconds.

craft time

Connor came to play a couple of days last week.  The teacher in me had to dig out some craft projects to pass the time.  The kids had fun making Santa's coats.

Connor's 3rd birthday

The girls were invited to two birthday parties this weekend, but Mommy overextended us and we only made one. The girls had a blast at Connor's "blow-up playground". LE loved it, Bella loved her Daddy's attention. Mommy got in on some of the action too. Happy Birthday "Big Boy" Connor! We love you!

Express Game

Connor and Jane invited us to the Express Game Tuesday night and the Lord blessed us with the shortest game in RR history, no kidding - 9 innings less than 2 hours. Express won and the girls had a blast.

We also discovered there must have been something in that water tower by our old house b/c these two children look like twins!!

playdate with Connor

The girls got company very early this morning; they were so excited their friend Connor came to play. We watched movies, played puzzles, played dress-up and splashed in the sprinkler. They had a great time, we cannot wait to have more good fun with our little buddy, Connor.
