Last week we had two families visiting and over the weekend we flip-flopped (with a bit of overlap!) and now are spending time with friends who live north of us. Their first three kids almost perfectly 'match' the ages of our three, and they've got a little 10 month old baby girl along too. Last night four adults and seven children slept in our three bedroom apartment!
(picture from during the flip-flop of visiting families - my dear friend Ashlei reading to seven of the gathered kiddos!)
These four (who we refer to as "the bigs") plus Isaac share one bedroom. We marvel at how well our children play together - and the late nights of talk with fellow parents is pure joy.
It's been a bit of a relational desert for us with the move to a new city and living away from other foreigners, so this past week full of fellowship is even more special :)
In a few short days it's back to work for Matt and then we'll all be heading out of town on a work-related trip for Matt early next week.
