Saturday night your Daddy and I spent the night in our house without you both here for the first time since October 20, 2005...almost 3 years ago! You got to have your very first spend the night party with Aunt BeBe at her house since Daddy and I had a wedding shower at our house for our good friends Jeff and Laurie. You boys were SO excited to pack up your backpacks all by yourselves, thinking of everything you'd need for your first night away from home and Mommy and Daddy.
BeBe took you first to McDonalds for an ice cream cone and to play on the playground (since it was way too hot to play outside), and then to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and more playtime. You went back to her house to take baths, play with the two kittens and get in jammies to read books.
You sure did have a great time, and we were so thankful to BeBe for letting you come over, but as Daddy and I laid in bed to say prayers, we sure did miss you both. We missed tucking you in bed and doing our routine that has become our favorite part of the day. We realized that part of us was missing, and the two of you really make this house our home. The things you each bring to our everyday life are everything we've ever prayed for God to give us, and He has been faithful and generous.
We are so glad you got to go and do something special, and we look forward to all the things you'll do as you continue to grow. But we're even more glad that you always come home to us.
Love, Mommy and Daddy (who slept much better Sunday night)

I had so much fun with your two precious boys at Chuck E Cheese. So glad I got to go with Britt! They have gotten so big and are too cute for words. I know you are so proud of your big boys
This is such a sweet little post. :-)
Very sweet and I agree, God has been faithful and generous. I am just thinking about our lunch when we were both pregnant and feeling overwhelmed...Only God knew then what wonderful days we had in store! Just looked at your painting website - that is really neat stuff! You have a lot of talent, missy! :)
