This past weekend some very dear friends of ours came up for a visit. We had the best time! These dear friends are the Oehrig's. We met them through homeschooling and wish now that our paths had crossed a little sooner. We have said numerous times that it is amazing how close we have become in such a short time. We actually met right before Timothy was born and our friendship has flourished ever since. We had been wanting them to come up and it worked out that they came 4th of July so it gave us a long weekend. They arrived late Friday night and so when they got here we said our "hello's" and then got to bed. On Saturday morning Bryan made pancakes and waffles for breakfast, the waffles were a hit with the kids- next time we will make more waffles. The rest of the day was just play, fellowshipping, laughter, lunch, naps and supper. After supper we all were getting ready for bed and I got really sick! I mean no stopping it. Thankfully the Oehrig's were here and they helped greatly with the kids. What a blessing they were to us. On Sunday morning I awoke to Mr. Jacob already preparing breakfast and setting everyones place. Then on Sunday afternoon the kids and the big kids (the Daddy's) went outside to play in the water, they all had a great time. After supper on Sunday night we all went to watch fireworks. It is was a really nice night. It was nice to talk and to be together with friends. We feel so comfortable around them and talk about things from family to spiritual things. On Monday morning it was time to get things ready for their departure and for Bryan and Isaac to head to Kid's Camp. After lunch we said good bye to the Oehrig's and then we took Isaac to the church to say good bye to him and Bryan. When we got back home it was very quiet and lonely. Sarah and I had our share of tears and then we all laid down to rest. What a great weekend with our friends. I can honestly say that they are some of the best friends anyone could ever have.
On the pregnancy note: I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and have finally gotten down to less than 200 days to go. I will go to the Dr. next week and will be able to hear the baby's heart beat. I am showing just a bit and my clothes are beginning not to fit. Actually I have wore a couple of maternity things the last couple of days.
Until next time....

How precious it was to be with you all, as well! Thanks for such a precious techno--documentation of our weekend. We really enjoyed....Monday night Eliana had a hard time getting to bed; her explanation: "I think its hard to sleep when we leave special places." We love and appreciate you and how open and honest we can be - that is the highest gift of all to us: your love without the conditions. Thank you. Muchos Lovies! - sara, for all of us.
