Friday night we had some of our BSM students over for pizza. We have just selected 4 students to be our BSM Ambassadors (to act as leaders and be available for student ministry input) so we invited them over to hang out and go over everything. I did not get a picture :(
After they left we went to the high school basketball game. Usually the varsity boys' game is too late for us to watch but we were able to stick around and see some of it. Go Bobcats!
Saturday afternoon we had over our friends, the McKinneys. Andrew used to work with Ryan at Redeemer and they were friends even before that from Denton Bible Church. They brought their sweet baby, Eleanor with them. We hadn't seen Eleanor since she was newborn tiny. This girl is quite a cutie! Eva had a good time playing with her and even tried to share her favorite Buzz Lightyear toy, which sadly Eleanor is too young to play with.
Along with Monica, we also invited my bff Erica. Erica and Monica were close college friends back before I ever knew Monica and we all love each other now!
The ladies were busy talking in the other room when I looked up and saw this. Our husbands sitting in the playroom doing puzzles with their baby girls...and not in a complainful "oh man we got stuck with the kids" way....they were totally just playing and being men like this was their new normal and they love it. #heartmelted
Eleanor was kind enough to bring back the whale bathtub she had borrowed from us for her "baby days" now that she has outgrown it. Eva on the other hand was pretty convinced that she was still a baby and still needed to use it. Hahaha, can you imagine bathing a two year old in that thing?
Saturday night we went to Dallas and met my family at Grimaldi's. I had been wanting to try this place for a while and it was sooooo good. That's me, enjoying my "small" pizza. It was about 3 times as big as my head. I ordered a white pizza with bacon and black olives. It was delicious! And I will have leftovers for many days!
My cousin Aaron was there to see us one last time before he headed back to his army base. Eva enjoyed wearing his army hat.
Afterwards we shopped and walked around the new(ish?) Shops at Park Lane. I'm sure this has probably been here a few years now, but it sure wasn't when I was growing up and I'd never been before. We have tons of outdoor shops right by us in Southlake, but these shops felt so hip and urban. Also Eva LOVED getting swung in the air while she walked with Mamy and Baba. Grandparents are the best.
Sunday morning we went to church. I have been meaning to get a picture of Eva all dressed up in this adorable sparkly dress that she was gifted, but every time she wears it I forget. She had already taken off her cardigan, tights, and sparkly shoes to ride her tricycle, but at least I snapped this photo. Girly and sporty? Sounds like Eva.
Sunday night we had BSM at our place. I mentioned in my
5 on Friday that God has been doing great things and answered many prayers. I love having so many students in our home learning about how much God loves them.
I will leave you with this. At first glance, she looks too cool for words. At second glance, you realize that she has her eyes closed behind the glasses.
