Four and a half years ago, when Luke and I were dating and he was just starting out as the Student Pastor at Martin's Mill, we made the hour long drive from our houses to the Mill several times a week. Some days it proved to be pretty exhausting. We were full time students with part time jobs on top of Luke's work at the church. It was also SO fun. We would have our best conversations on the car ride over. We spent time between services at the parsonage, hanging out with Nathan and Jenna and their blonde headed, blue eyed toddler. Today we hung out with Nathan, Jenna, their blonde headed blue eyed five year old, plus their curly red headed 2 year old, precious little bald 8 month old and our little Maddie, of course. It was like old times, plus three.
Everyone needs friends like that.
I was so into enjoying their company, that I did not take many pictures.
Madelyn looked on with jealous eyes as the boys decorated cookies.
Kolson is so handsome! He is also such a happy little guy. He has reflux like Madelyn and it broke my heart to hear him making the sounds that she makes when it's acting up.
The sweet girl (who rubs her eyes and forehead when she gets really sleepy) was tired from watching all the action around her this afternoon and evening.
Not too tired for a little finger holding with her Mommy...
or a little play time on the floor before bed time...
It WAS like old times! I am not sure we realized how special all of those times hanging out the parsonage really were until we weren't all together anymore. We love you guys more than you know and we are so thankful to call you our friends. It is so fun to watch y'all now that you are parents too! I can't wait to see all of the adventures the Lord takes our families on in the future...I pray that we are always close!:) I love that we can just come and really hang out and just be real. Have a great week!
