The band that Mark plays in, Highway 2 Heaven, had a concert at our church in July. We called up a few people to invite them and it worked out that the Stonesifers could come!! They met us at the church. Actually, they arrived before us, having had some adventures on the way.
We finally got to meet Milo at 2 months old. Wow, what a great little man! Hmm. . . a great young big guy might describe him better. He looked bigger than Able who was 9 months old at the time. (although Able might have had a pound and a few inches up on Milo).
The Stonesifer children survived the noisy concert by listening from a room off to the side with a window to view things. Hopefully they had a fun time. Mark's band hasn't figured out how to not be too loud. Trumpets mostly. Hee hee.
Following the concert we had a pie and ice cream social downstairs at the church. Yummie! It was a bit overwhelming trying to keep up with our guests and the band members and our children, so we kind of missed out on good buddy time. But the Stonesifers found the children's play room which is right off the social area, so i think they still had a fun time.
Then a cool thing happened. After all the activity, the Stonesifer family followed us home to hang out for a bit. We managed to fight the traffic exiting WI on a Sunday night in not too bad of time. None of us had eaten supper really, so we snacked and played games and had a simple good time. And the amazing part is that I actually got out the camera and took a few pictures. So here's Val surrounded by kiddos reading some library books.
And here's the Stonesifer men, Shawn and Milo.
Two silly, sleepy girls. Lucy and Leannora having a sleeping party. They were pretty tired cause it was late, but they didn't want to miss out on any fun. So they figured out how to rest and have fun at the same time.
Well hopefully the hours that the Stonesifers postponed their return travels meant that the traffic was a bit more smooth. I forgot to follow up and find out. But anyways, we had a really fun visit. Thank you!!!
