A Whirlwind Trip and Lake Fun

They are all boy...and their Daddy was pretty amused.

On Saturday the boys and I had the pleasure of attending a wedding reception of a lifelong friend of mine. Our parents have been friends since before either of us were even born, so we grew up living in the same neighborhood, going on vacations and camping trips together, and basically running in the same family circles. Since we're all "grown up" it's been several years since we've seen each other. They got married in Phoenix (where they now live) but the reception was in her parents back yard in KC, which is literally like a park...it was beautiful! To say Janet (her mother) has a green thumb would be the understatement of the year. The boys enjoyed the time, made a few friends, and especially enjoyed the chocolate cake they devoured.

Levi had to stay behind as he was on call over the weekend. He did, however, get to attend another wedding for a couple here in town. Both used to attend our church while they were here in med school, many people came from all over for the occassion.

Since he worked over the weekend, Levi was done pretty early Monday morning, which was SO nice. He came home, talked to the boys about what is going to happen next week (he will be leaving for a month for his hearts/neuro rotation)...to the best of their understanding I think they know the plan, even though their knowledge and sense of time is not the best yet. Marcus just always does better if you try to explain ahead of time how things are going to happen, rather than springing something on him. After this little talk, Daddy lightened the mood and asked if they would like to take a picnic lunch out to the lake and play in the water. Of course there were cheers all around... Here are a few pic's. Have a great week!
