It's a good morning, we're off to HOPE! And the best part? It only took us five minutes!! What a difference. Usually NJ is driving us nuts asking why we always have to take three freeways and how he doesn't like how long it takes. No more complaining, before we knew it we were there. What a great feeling to be so close again. Since last week we didn't make it, it's our first official Sunday at HOPE after the move. We're so excited! We felt so loved when we were greeted by the pastors, leaders, and friends who were all so excited for us to be back. It's so sweet and heart warming to have felt so welcomed and loved by so many. We're excited about what God has for us with our family, with serving, with so many aspects of our life. Feeling so blessed yet again.
NJ drew this picture in his class today. This morning as we pulled out of the driveway he said, "Maybe I can make a sign that says NJ's house that points to our house so our friends know where to go when they come over."
I said that was a nice idea to help people find our house, but probably not good to put your name on something identifying our house. He showed us this picture he drew of the three of us and Dotty. And it has an arrow sign with our house number and his name on it. He was really thinking about it I guess!

We had invited some families to come bring lunch over to hang out to celebrate our first Sunday. Our tables and chairs were all full and it was great! A full house.
The kids and dads all went out to ride their scooters and bikes up and down the driveway, play four square, hand ball, throw the football, and frisbee. We closed the gate and everyone ran around until it was too hot. But what a joy it was to see them play and enjoy themselves. So great that we can do this.
After a while it was only the boys outside. I thought it seemed pretty quiet and I figured out why when I looked out the window. They were all on (or looking at) devices. We thought it was such a funny sight. They're outside, but on their phones. I guess it just got too hot and they decided to take a break.
The boys lounging on the couch together. So cute! They were trying to entertain baby.
NJ couldn't stop giggling, he said baby was tickling his neck.
Tofu game challenge by the dads! I don't know who won, I was laughing too hard at their seriousness.
More Lego building with Uncle Jimmy. I guess everyone was having so much fun, it was practically almost dinner time! How did that happen?
