We had such a fun weekend! It was packed full of events that we all enjoyed. On Friday all the boys spent time on a long bike ride to enjoy the beautiful weather while I tackled some tasks at home. Then on Saturday we went to Owen and Addison's first birthday party. The boys had a great time celebrating with the "babies" - not really babies anymore! I went to a bridal shower for one of our past Young Life leaders on Saturday night with Eden. Then on Sunday we got very special visitors!
My cousin Chad and his wife Angie and son Palmer (15 months) met us at church on Sunday morning. They drove from Minot, ND to Stillwater on Saturday and wanted to make the trip to Eau Claire to join us for church and lunch. Their older son, Oliver (4 yrs), stayed back in Minot with family while they made the special trip to MN for Palmer. We were sad not to see Oliver, but we were so happy to meet Palmer for the first time! He is the smiliest little guy and so special! You can see Palmer's commercial here.
The boys loved having Palmer at our house! They exchanged gifts and played with each other - mostly with our boys entertaining Palmer at great lengths - you should've seen the "performance" they did with their songs from church and preschool!
It was wonderful to catch up with Chad and Angie and we were so touched that they took time out of their trip to travel to Eau Claire and even go to church with us. The Thompsons have all made great efforts to visit us in the past two months and for that, we are so appreciative! Jody and her family visited when Eden was just over a week old and Shirley and Myron visited last week. Many many thanks to them all for the lovely visits. Now it is our turn to jump in the car and make a meaningful visit to Minot, ND! Its been too long!
