I have so much to blog about this weekend that I don't even kow where to start! Chad finished his first week at grad school Friday afternoon and we then left to go visit our good friends, Matt and Jessica Watkins, from Syracuse, NY. We had not seen them in 4 years and what a great weekend! Matt and Jess have 4 little kids: Katie Beth is 8, Korryn is 5, Quinn is almost 3, and Maddie is 4 1/2 months old. Throw in Aiden who is 4 1/2 and Kian who is 2, it was a lively bunch! We are so thankful for godly, encouraging friends! I love spending time with this couple, not only is their passion for God contagious, I love the fact that they will be open and honest with their feelings. I hate the run-around and they don't give any of that.
Aiden spent literally the entire time with Korryn. They were so darn cute together. Aiden kept forgetting her name and she replied, "just call me Peanut." (She's a tiny little thing and that's the nickname her daddy calls her) So precious, that little girl. Aiden forgot the next day as well and Korryn told Aiden again to just call her "Peanut". Aiden replied, "ok, then you can call me Chip." It was so funny. Seriously, chip?? Anyway, our boys had so much fun jumping on the trampoline, playing with the trains, going swimming, watching movies, and chasing after each other.
We spent several hours on Saturday frog-catching. Literally Matt and Chad caught 19 frogs. Matt needed frogs for a church picnic family frog race. We went to 2 ponds and it was hysterical. I so wish that I had a video recorder. Chad when he caught one would scream what sounded like a victory war cry. We laughed and laughed watching them.
It was just such a lovely weekend! There is such refreshment being with fellow believers and knowing that you can be honest about struggles and life and that they won't judge, but listen and love. Chad and I both felt humbled and encouraged by the few days that we had together. Thank You so much God for moments like this!
