Pastor Dave and his wife, Laura, celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary today. Some of the church folks gave them ideas of where to eat, and Lew and I offered to babysit.
Their two daughters are six years old and three years old. The girls were dropped off at our house around 4:30. We played with Jerry for a bit, we played games, the girls made pictures for their parents, "Mr. Lew" made hotdogs for dinner, we played more games, we ate push-up pops for dessert, we had tickle fights, we played with Jerry some more....
Pastor Dave and Laura returned for their children around 8:30, at which time I told them that my admiration for them had increased. They must have energy levels that are beyond super-human! :)
We visited for a bit before this lovely little family headed home (around a 45-second drive from our house). The girls had brought a few toys with them, and we gathered them up before they went outside to their car. I ran outside with two sippy cups before they pulled out of the driveway. A few minutes later I texted Laura that there was a pair of pink sandals in our entryway. Oops!
Lew and I enjoyed our evening with our two precious little friends. And we're ready for our next gig!
