Thanksgiving Day 2008
















We were thankful to be able to spend the day with the Emberleys! We had fun playing games and just being with cousins!! Hope you all had a wonderful day too!

Younge-Keith Day 11/25/2008

We were SO happy to have our dear friends the Younges come for a visit on Tuesday!! To give you some background, the Younges lived just down the road from us and went to our church until the summer of 2007 when they moved far away. A couple of summers ago, we had 9 weeks of summer vacation with no plans for them. With 9 weeks and 9 children, we quickly realized that was 1 week per child to choose something to do together. We made lots of fieldtrips, lots of memories and had lots of fun!! Tuesday we were reunited and had lots more fun. We were all sad when the Younges moved away, but none so sad as J. The Younge's N was J's best friend in the whole world. It was so sweet to see them pick up their friendship again as if they had never been apart!
Best Friends!!
Goofy faces

More best friends...


Nine children, one large table, lots of fun and not one word of complaint...all day!!

The children had a half day of school yesterday, so K invited a couple of friends over for a small "friends" birthday party. We stuck to the Ladybug theme. K chose chicken noodle soup for lunch and ladybug cupcakes. Our only planned activity was painting rocks into ladybugs. It was just enough. Getting free time to just enjoy playing together was the best! K's birthday is not until the 15th but after her first party with the grandparents she asked if she could say she was 6 yet. I told her that would be fine-once you've had your party, it is OK. Last night she did something she shouldn't have and I made the mistake of saying, "You know better then that, you are 6 years old now." To which she replied, "No, I'm not yet. My birthday isn't until next week!" I guess when you have your party early, you can choose which days you want to be 5 and which days you want to be 6!! Don't worry, she wasn't being fresh, just really cute!
