Friends





We were fortunate enough to be able to spend some awesome quality time with our dear friends the Groves last week.  We miss them terribly since they moved back to Georgia.  We were thrilled to be able to meet sweet baby Katherine for the first time.  She is beyond gorgeous and it was just heavenly to have a newborn around here again.  It definitely made all of us even more eager to welcome baby Andrew.  Shirley's sister Ginny stayed with us a few nights as well. It was wonderful to have a house full of kiddos (10 total).  Sounds like mass chaos doesn't it?  Absolutly not!  Their children are so beautifully and wonderfully gentle, sweet, well mannered, helpful, and delightful.  Seriously.  It was downright ridiculous how fantastic they all behaved.  It was such a joy to have them all here!  We are just so very thankful to have them in our lives.  Can't say enough about what an inspiration Shirley is to me.  She has such a joyful and encouraging spirit about her.  Her beauty is contagious and she truly enriches everyone she meets.  And her beautiful and well mannered children speak loads about her amazing diligence in raising them.  Every time she walks out of our home I always feel a bit of a "Shirley high" and find about ten things I should add to our routine to increase the discipline and holiness in our home.  She is absolutely infectious in her duties as a wife and mother.  Here are just a few of the pictures from our visit with our dear friends.
