Our church is having Vacation Bible School this week, and it's turned into an event for the whole family. For VBS, Jeff is helping with the Bible lessons for preschoolers, I am helping with music, Josiah is thoroughly enjoying himself in the "Grasshoppers" class, David had great fun the first night but unfortunately has caught a little cold so wasn't able to go tonight, and Tobin is relaxing each evening in the care of Allison, one of the other VBS moms (she's been such a huge help and seems to be delighted at getting her "baby fix" from Tobin). :)
The other "extra" in our weekly schedule was an overnight visit from our friends Jerry and Terry Jordan. We knew them from when we lived in San Diego and have always admired and respected them tremendously although we haven't seen each other for a number of years. We were absolutely thrilled when we learned they were taking a trip along the East Coast this summer and would be passing through our area, even having time to stop and spend a night with us. They are SO NICE, such comfortable people to have in our home. We loved every minute of our time together!
I'll simply add a few pictures, then call it a night...
~ this picture cracks me up because the event cracked me up: my two favorite firstborns (Josiah and my mother) were helping me prepare for our guests yesterday afternoon...after they spread the tablecloth on the table, they literally got out a ruler to measure it to make sure they had an equal amount at each end...nobody but a firstborn would do that!!! :)...my mother claimed it was an exercise in mathematics, but I'm not sure about that--sounds like a classic case of rationalization to me! :)
~ Tobin got extra love and cuddles from Jerry...
~ ...and from Terry...they have a grandson who is a month younger than Tobin (as well as other grandchildren) so they're quite experienced in the art of grandparenting!

~ we're so grateful for the privilege of knowing them!!!

I love Tobin's 5 month old picture!!
You are very blessed to have so many good friends. It is a testament to your characters!
It is so nice to have good friends visit.
Take care

We've seen the big spider web, the butterfly, and the great big spiders in your church yard. It looks exciting--I would want to go if I was a little kid! I'm glad your kids can enjoy it, and you and Jeff can have fun too.
How fun! I remember when my family would have long time friends come to visit!
Tobin looks so cuddly! :)
I need a baby fix!
I love that they measured the table cloth!! That is something my Sam would do! Company is so fun! what great memories!
