Satur-just-what-we-needed-Day

Sick, tired and a bit overwhelmed from a very busy week, today was just what we needed.

 Deb, Lily and Launa playing a game Deb made for her.

Then Deb and Lily made Ella a little bed, which Lily loves to stuff with toys and Sofia loves to flip over.

Ella truly thinks Lily is her Mommy, which is good, because Lily's pretty sure Ella is her baby.

Then she helped her friend, "Mr. Silly Bud" fix the oven, which the night started to heat up only to have a huge rat come flying out of it.  Mmmm.

Boone is loving playing with his growing group of friends, as well.

Lily adores Ryan, all the more now that he fixed John's bike and drove her around the campus.

 Sofie adores when Lily kisses her.  Which makes Lily crack up and do it again.  It is hilarious (even though it looks like she's strangling her, here :)

"That's my sister!"

Yeah, missionary life can be a little boring sometimes.  

Lily is becoming Mommy's big helper 

Phil and Uncle Don flew in today, so within minutes the guys were out playing football, which is SO good for Matt!  (please try NOT to notice that Matt is indeed playing football in his underwear.  So excited to play, taking two seconds to change from jeans to shorts just seemed like too much, apparently.  Oh man.)

Not but a few minutes later he, Ryan and Phil are off to the ocean...again, really good un-work related guy stuff for Matt...

While Uncle Don played with his biggest fan.

Good friends also visited us, Sauvelt and his wife...to thank YOU through us, New Bedford! 

It was a GREAT day...just what we needed.
