The Thomas's came in town this weekend from Stephenville. It's the first time they've been back as a family since they moved in November. The Williams and the Santiagos met them at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday for a picnic lunch. Savannah and Blaire came too. It was a great time. The kids had a ball, and the weather was beautiful! It actually felt like Spring. Savannah, Ellie and I all ended up sun burnt, but oh well, it was worth it. Thank goodness I put sunscreen on Ben.
That night, we left the kids with grandparents, and we went to Chuy's for dinner. As much as we love our children, it was so nice to have adult time. Then Sunday, they came over for lunch and Katie cut Ben's hair. He desperately needed a haircut and Katie did an excellent job. I told her she has to come in town at least every other month to cut Ben's hair.
Sunday night we had YFM, and all the kids were together. It was such a blessing to see the great kids Ben's getting to grow up with. And the wonderful relationships we're forming with the couples in the group. Zimmermans, Morans, Williams, Medinas, Thomas's, and Brauds, and Belts (along with others who weren't there) - you hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for helping the Santiagos grow in our mission to glorify God as a family in all that we do! We can't wait to continue the journey together!
God, thank you for friends. Thank you for the friends you've put in Hector's and my life, and the friends you've put in Ben's life. Thank you for sweet memories and every day I get to spend with my two special men! I am completely unworthy, but eternally grateful!
