Future Baseball Players? Their Dad Hopes so...

This weekend, the girls got the chance to try their arm at swinging the bat. We had a cookout with family on Sunday after church (we LOVE living close to family!) and Ray's girlfriend Rosie brought a a wiffle ball and bat (she's a PE teacher). The girls had so much fun trying to hit the ball. Kenz is quite athletic but doesn't really give a care while Syd tries so hard and still has trouble. I told Jon that I know it's going to drive him crazy that Kenz will have the athleticism in her but she won't even care. He said that was for sure!

We also had a cookout on Monday with some friends from Journey Church. We had about 30 people here and luckily it didn't rain like they had predicted and we were able to be outside the whole time. We had a really good time. Jon and I were marveling at how odd it was that last year on Memorial Day we had never even met all these people. God has really blessed us early on with some special friendships here. We are so grateful for that. I think it has made the whole church plant experience even easier to handle. God knew it would be hard enough without having to feel lonely.

One quick funny quote from Kenzie this weekend:

She had a potty accident while she was playing outside and Jon asked: "Honey, why did you not go inside to use the potty?"

Kenz: "Because I tend to be a doggy and they go outside."

We think she was trying to say pretend...at least we hope so!
