Special Guests

Memorial Day Weekend was filled with special guests in our house.  It began Friday when Mr. Mark Tai arrived from the north.  Everybody loves Mr. Mark and his visits are always super fun.  I am always impressed how this bachelor dives into our lives, entertains the boys, does dishes when nobody is looking and manages to smile for real after my children melt down in the Starbucks drive thru.  He is simply quality.  I forgot to mention...he and Erik have an absolute blast video gaming together.  It's good for men to have man friends.

A few of my favorite pics from Mr. Mark's visit:

 Mark had been crouching down when Paul leaned over his back to look at something with him.  Then Mark stood up.  Tall dude!  What happened next was Paul being slowly flipped upside down over Mark's shoulder and gently lowered to the floor.  It was quite the ride!

Mark had never read The Boxcar Children.  I think Paul found this tragic, so he had Mark read the first few chapters aloud to him.  I believe Mark finished the book on his own while he was here.  :-)

Just as Mark was heading home yesterday afternoon, our next special guest arrived.  One of the pastors at our church and his lovely wife had a beautiful baby girl six months ago.  They dropped her off around 3pm and headed for their first night sans baby since her birth.  BABY GIRL IN MY HOUSE!!! Okay.  I'll just let the pictures tell the story.

We are all in love with this girl.
 She can do this.  She fits in here.

Baby Girl goes home this afternoon.  We will miss watching her do her thing.  We've spent a fair amount of time just sitting in the living room with her and her toys.  I'm hoping for lots of future visits.  Baby Land is so snuggly and soft and sweet.  And sleep deprived.  ;-)
