This Memorial Day weekend brought with it few plans on the calendar so an impromptu get together with my family last evening was a welcome invitation. The evening started out with sunshine but it soon became obvious the sunshine would not last as the dark, heavy clouds began to roll in. But we enjoyed a few moments of fun in the yard before it the flood gates opened from above. Caleb is now walking and if we couldn't keep him stationary before, the task has now become near impossible. Smiling and pointing at you seems to be his "thing" and always makes us laugh.
Isaac and Isaiah came to the party with Papa Smurf who had picked them up with Ted and brought them over. The kids just love the special rides they get with Papa Smurf and Ted. Isaiah had a permanent place by the chips until the rain moved our party to the garage and then he found residence by the grapes.
Papa Smurf kept the fire going and the burgers and dogs roasting...as well as stealing chips from Isaiah. I kept telling Isaiah to take a chip to Uncle Jamie and Papa Smurf just kept on intercepting. Notice the little face peering around the chair at me..."Look, I tried to give it to Uncle Jamie but Pappy kept taking them!"
Uncle Jason had a little time with Elianna. Her and daddy showed up right before the rain. Unfortunately Maegan and Baby Eva couldn't make it as Eva was finally sleeping. She has been doing somewhat better after an adjustment to her medication but has her nights and days mixed up. We continue to ask for prayers for Baby Eva and their family as they take this journey one day at a time.
The evening ended with us partying in my brother's garage and enjoying the craziness that makes my family fun. Lacey thankfully was prepared with some light sticks! Great idea, Lacey!
And thank you to those who have, are, and will serve our country and fight for our freedom!!
