This past weekend we have more visitors... my dear friend, Jennifer and Eric and their kiddos, Abigail and Matthew. Jenny and I were in middle school together in Texas back in the day...
I had not seen Jenny and Eric since 1999; thus Steven had not met them... they were pregnant with Abigail around our wedding; and unable to attend.
We had not hosted friends/family with small children; so it was truly an experiment for all. After a nap for all and lunch on Saturday; we took to the Hastings Museum for a few hours, taking in the planetarium, dead animals of all shapes and sizes, kids play area for hands-on learning and dress up and then downstairs to the KOOL-AID part... Eric's favorite part!
Sunday, we had church and a Veterans' Day celebration; and on MOnday, the kiddos and the Women went for a play date and hung out at the house the remainder of the day... the weather was just cold, nasty and freezing!! Eric really was waiting for snow... which never came!
We learned how to feed, change, entertain and discipline young children... it really was delightful!
It helped Steven and I get a better (not full nor perfect) sense of what having kids would really be like... and you know, I'll take just one... dont' necessarily need a whole gaggle of them!
