Darren, Natalie and Emory came over for dinner tonight. We had a fantastic visit with all three of them. Emory loves playing with Cade - she’s one of the only people who plays with him as rough and tumble as he likes. This photo was taken at the end of the night - she was obviously sad to leave, and we were sad to see her go:
The kids think that staying up a little later means building beds in the playhouse and catching lightening bugs after their visit with Erin and Cara. They bring all their blankets and pillows out and build beds together. Tonight, they also focused on how high off the ladder they could jump. Lyla was particularly proud that she can jump from below the top. It is pretty impressive for her sweet, little legs. She’s becoming more and more daring these days.
It’s such a wonderful blessing to watch our children chase lightening bugs. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures that I absolutely relish every moment of as it was such a huge part of my childhood. Lyla was so proud that she caught 2 and successfully let both of them go. She wanted to keep catching them, but they are gone after such a short period of time.
Arms open, trying to catch another one...
I love this photo of the girls - notice the chocolate on Lyla’s lower lip - she just had a s’more.
Another brilliant summer night at the firepit. So glad to spend time with such great family that double as our friends.
