We were blessed with such a sweet time with my parents this weekend. My children call them "Gommy" and "Dandy"...such cute names, huh?
One of our favorite things to do is to play dominoes and cards. Yes, that is a picture of my mom behind Kiana - she was 16. She was beautiful then, and she is still the most beautiful lady I know!
Garett had fun showing Dandy and Gommy how well he is reading.
My parents are such a blessing to us and I am so glad that they came to play with us a few days. The children LOVE them and my parents love to spend time with them. They also set an example of valuing people...no matter what their age. Today they are driving back to Texas.
During one of our games, I came into the family room to find that Aiden had wrapped Keshawn up in two long armed frogs. It was funny watching Keshawn try to crawl around like this. Aiden has so much fun with his little brother. Keshawn hasn't been feeling well this weekend. He is really fussy. I am praying for a miracle this afternoon...getting 5 small children to sleep at the same time so that I can sleep.
Off to do lunch....
Awesome, wonderful photos Shonni!

Hugs and love,

Shonni,
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning in the dark and groaned when I should have been praising God for a beautiful weekend. I am NOT a morning person!!! Love the pictures, your family is beautiful! My mom was 18 and still gorgeous as well :)
Your parents sound really wonderful! What a blessing they are to you and to your children, and to many other people, I'm sure.

What a blessing to have your parents come and visit! All 4 of ours have passed away but we were able to enjoy them with our younger kids!

Praying Keshawn feels better and you get some sleep!
