It is an understatement that we have some amazing friends. We thank God so much for our friends and we appreciate them more than we can say!
This weekend we were blessed by our good friends, Mark and Angie. They spent most of their weekend to bring their family up to visit us at NTBI. It was so much fun! One of the neatest things to see was the growing friendship between Halle and Kaitlee. It seems like the more these girls are together, the better they get along! It was so fun for Halle that she could spend 2 days with her best friend:)
We spent Friday evening with pizza at Loomis Park. We told Mark and Ang that Loomis would give them a good taste of Jackson:) And anyone who lives here can imagine how many people were there on a beautiful Friday evening! It was packed with people!
Aaron and Jill blessed us later that night by sitting in our apartment with our sleeping kiddos until after 11:00 so that Nathan and I could go and hang out with Mark and Ang in the guesthouse. It was great to catch up with them. Thanks, A and J!!
Today was spent hanging out at NTBI in the morning, then Mark and Angie treated our family to lunch at our kids' favorite place...McDonald's! They loved the playplace!
When Halle and Kaitlee were at the top of the slide, we could hear them giggling like crazy! As they tried to get situated into their sliding positions, they were cracking each other up and laughing uncontrollably! It was so adorable. They did this several times:)
Mark made Kaine's day by letting him play "angry birds" on his phone. Kaine loved that--thanks, Mark!
We tried to get a picture of Daisy and Jace (they are only 4 days apart in age!) but this is the best we could do:)
Halle and Kaitlee. Halle asked me last night, "Mom, is Kaitlee going to stay here until we move to Canada?" It was so cute:) Halle loves Kaitlee so much!
Hanging out with friends like this is so fun, but yet it is bittersweet. Though we still have a good 3 years until we actually go overseas (which seems like a long time!) I know it will come so quickly. It is awesome to have close friendships but it will be incredibly hard to leave all this amazing fellowship. I definitely need to be praying all the time for God to give me the grace to handle leaving everyone--I wil need it for sure!
Thanks again for spending your weekend with us, Mark and Angie! We love you guys!
