Our friends Jeff and Janelle in Harwood, ND just had a baby! Jordan was born the day before my birthday. He has a brother (Jaden) and sister (Megan), but my daughters consider themselves his (and Jaden's and Megan's) sisters, too. Jordan's parents are Suzanna's godparents, and she doesn't let them forget it. She has also adopted their entire family as her "godfamily"--thus, the (god)sister and (god)brothers. We spent a good chunk of today in Harwood, holding the new baby and playing with the other kids (actually, our girls took care of that, for the most part) and visiting. No matter how infrequently we see them, we never have any trouble picking up as though we'd never parted; and our kids and theirs get along famously. We're pretty lucky to have them as such close family friends.

P.S. At supper tonight, Abigail had a small burp while eating. She was a little worried, however, that the burp might turn out to be vomit instead (haven't we all experienced that kind of burp from time to time?), and we could see that by the expression on her face. Quickly that feeling (and the burp) passed, and she looked relieved, turned to us, and said, "Well, that was alarming."
P.P.S. Our daughters have taken to saying "precisely" when they agree with an observation that someone else has made. Don't most kids just say "right" instead?
Thanks for the clue.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy our visits with the Mobergs and always ask ourselves why we don't make a better effort to get togehter more often. The Mobergs were nice enough to bring lunch (and left the abundance of leftovers) and two other meals that we can pull out of the freezer when needed. With a newborn and two other children it is wonderful to have that convenience.
The Mobergs are wonderful friends since the day Kevin and I met as teachers in our first school teaching careers. We experienced a lifetime of wonderful memories there and also in a couple of trips we took (pre-children).
Kevin and Susan are very talented individuals. They have three beautiful girls and we look forward to many more years of making memories.
Thanks again.

ReplyDeleteIs the committee in need of donations or additional advertising? I'm sure I can share a story or two if needed. :o)
