"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

A Visit From A Friend!

The week of the 4th of July, right after we had gotten back from the lake, we had a visit from some friends we haven't seen in several years!!  Jamie went to college with us, but then moved to the Chicago area with her husband after graduation for grad school.  Since being there, they had a little girl, Lauren, who is just a few month younger than Kyler.  They have not been back to Cedar Falls since they had Lauren, so we were very excited to meet her!!  Jamie was staying with her family during the week of the 4th, so her and Lauren made the trip up to Cedar Falls one day so we could play.  Our other friend Karen brought her two kids, Ayden and Ahnie to hang out too.  We decided to meet a park for the kids to play with and bring our own picnic lunches to enjoy while we played.  We had such a fun time catching up and watching the kids run around together.  I don't think any of the kids ever actually sat down to eat any lunch because they were having so much fun running around.  It was more of an "eat a bite and run" kind of time. :)  

So glad we were able to see you Jamie and finally meet Lauren!!  I hope it isn't another several years before we see you again!! :)
