1 Day until Wheels Up

We've had a great weekend. Running errands Saturday morning, a great picnic with our family, church and hanging out with old friends! Almost all of our immediate family (except certain people who will be having our littlest nephew in a month and a half and live in Florida...totally understand, we just miss you) were at the picnic. We ate yummy food, played cornhole, took pictures and had fun! (We had a similar picnic almost 3 years ago when Dan was on his first big trip and I was pregnant with Kylie :) Time flies.

Today we got to go to church one last time with Mom Mom and Pappy, then to Reston Town Center to throw pennies in the fountain and then to our favorite after church eatery, Boston Market! We said goodbye to Mom Mom and Pappy and met up at the hotel pool with our friends Michael and Heather and their 4 kids! I love that all of our kids love each other - that we all share a love for each other, the Hokies and Jesus! We had a blast and got some good fun time, not to mention that Michael took the Oomi-mobile off our hands for us!

Highlights today for me included: 7 kids having fun together without ANY fighting or ANYONE getting hurt in our hotel room, Kylie singing the "blessing" RBC uses for the Toddler nursery before they eat their snack (God our Faver, we sank you, for our many bess's, AMEN - sung to "fara jacque" God our Father, We thank You, For our many blessings, Amen)), Jack, who as of last night would never even willingly get his head wet in the pool, decided today that (a) he wanted to wear goggles and (b) he has no problem holding his breath, going underwater and staying underwater for long periods of time! He even made me go under with goggles, so I can wave to him and then give each other the sign language "i love you" symbol! Watching 2 1/2 year old Nathan enjoy his sundae and getting to spend time with good friends who made a 2 hour trek up and back just to spend 5 hours with us before we leave for Bangkok and unknowingly wound up with our truck in the process!
