Thanks for all the photos! Good to see all your faces. Glad you were able to go on a long date. So important for you guys! And yay for the boys going to bed without a struggle!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is adorable. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYou all look so happy. :)
It looks like you all had a fun date! It is kind of a touchy subject I bet, but why does it seem you parents are so well dressed, yet your kid boys seem to be wearing clothes that barely fit them(either appearing too big or too small)? I am sure they don't mind, but they all do seem a bit neglected.
ReplyDeleteLove, love love! The pictures made us smile so much. Way to go Jon with the banana. What a champion. And you guys look so cute on your date. So glad you had fun.
ReplyDeletethanks everyone for sayin hi.
ReplyDeletedear Anonymous, that's not the truth.
Drew and Rachel,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you were able to spend those precious 6 hours together to invest in your relationship! Thank you for serving the Father wholeheartedly.
Yeah for dates! Rach you looked adorable - love that dress! I'd love an update on how the no-clothes-purchases-for-a-year is going! I love seeing your boys so happy. Thank you for setting such a good example of what living life all-in looks like.
