Mini Vacation: Days 2 - 6

We spent the rest of the week visiting our friends Brad and Kelli and their little girl Emmalyn. We had a great time catching up with them and Chloe loved having a buddy to play with. Just look at this face, and you'll know Emmalyn was a great hostess:



and....she had a set of pom-poms, which Chloe loved:


On Friday morning we went to the Inner Harbor and looked at some boats:

We also happened across a playground and let the girls try it out. Check out Kelli (who is due with Baby Boy in early November) climbing around the playground. Not letting that baby bump get in her way!

Chloe's favorite part of the playground was the dirt she could pick up and let fall through her fingers....


We got to play their Wii...

and play with the cat, Lexi...

Friday night we went to a great local restaurant for dinner and then watched a movie with some peach pie made by Kelli. On Saturday we visited a local state park. Kevin and I commented how nice and flat the walking trails were! We got to stick our feet in the sand and then found some grass to let the girls walk around in.


Emmalyn helped Kevin push Chloe back to the car. She'll be a good helper when her baby brother arrives!

In the afternoon, Kevin helped Brad with a project....

We played some more....
took pictures of the "matching pigtails" girls....

and then it was off to visit Jon, Abby, and Noah! We also got to hang out with Kevin's cousin Matt and Steve, Grace, and Leah over dinner. We took a kids picture....and of course, the youngest took the best picture:

We started and ended our trip with an over-night with Mimi and Poppop. As always, it was great to see them :)


This little girl fell asleep 3 minutes after we put her in the car for the ride home. She was worn out from so much fun!!
Thanks Brad and Kelli for being great hosts! We had a wonderful visit :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
