Day 20 brought a very busy day.
The house awoke to lots of laughter and fun as the cousins all played well together. The girls put on a fashion show while the boys broke out their DS games - something Ry hasn't played with for a while. No one wanted to go swimming, which was fine with me as I had laundry and de-cluttering to attend to. After my sister-in-law retrieved her little ones, and my quick trip to the corner farmstand, the countdown was on until the house would once again be filled with laughter and kids.
I didn't exercise - unless you count housework. I also indulged in a pomegratant margarita (or two). It was great to catch up with good friends for a visit which, unfortunately because of distance, occurs only once per year. Lots of inside jokes, laughter and good-natured fun was had by all. Kat had fun "babysitting" the little ones. I recall when we first moved into our neighborhood, how much I appreciated the young tweens who entertained my then-toddlers while I visited with the adults. It was especially nice to watch Ry and his friend Gabe have so much fun. Clearly the water is a common interest and they played and laughed like long-lost best friends. I loved seeing how grown up Ava and Sophia and Jordyn are getting as the old dollhouse found a home in our living room.
My muscles were still sore from the long run and by the end of the night I was pooped. I don't think I was awake 5 minutes after my head hit the pillow. Again, I didn't read. As I'm editing this post to back fill my reading. Today was about Joseph's perserverance and faithfulness even after being sold by his brothers to a passing caravan, and wrongfully imprisoned. It is a great example of faithfulness in times of trouble. Today's reading was also about when Jesus fed the 5000 from the five loaves of bread and two fish. It is amazing what God provides to those who seek him.
"They ate and were satisfied." Matthew 14:20
