more sweet friends

Right after the Mulandis visited, another one of our Kenyan connections came out for a visit!  The Nagles live in Atlanta now and it had been almost a year since I'd seen them.  Even though they have 3 kids to our 1, they made the drive to our house and we enjoyed having their sweet family in Franklin for the weekend!

We started off our weekend with an Easter egg hunt at a local park. 

Bo did not like waiting for the hunt to start.

Ty was enthusiastic about the visiting Chik-Fil-A cow. 

Since it was a cold day, we spent the afternoon at an indoor play place.  This particular one was a great place for them to run, climb, and burn off energy.  Unfortunately, we had an 'incident' with Bo that will go down in our family folklore.  He was playing on some equipment and was crawling through a tunnel when I heard him scream.  I was standing right there but on the outside of the tunnel, so I couldn't see what had happened.  A chubby toddler was perched smugly inside and my little lamb was bawling in terror.  As I tried to calm him down, I noticed a raised circle on Bo's face and thought at first he had been kicked, but it soon seemed too pronounced and circular for a shoe print - it was definitely a BITE.  The offender's mom came over and apologized but as the day went on, the mark got more pronounced.  By the next day it had faded so that it looked more like ringworm - we definitely were questioned by the nursery staff at church, which was awesome.  Anyway, he's fine and it will be a funny story, but of course I felt so bad for him being assaulted by that ruffian.  He still pats his cheek and says "my bite" when you ask him about it. 

After naps we visited a nearby horse farm turned public park for some family picture time.  Allyson recently got a new camera and I wanted to take advantage of her skills.  We had a lot of fun corralling the little ones and trying to get all of them looking in the right direction and smiling at the same time.  

 

Thanks for coming, buddies!! We love you!
