Work Day Switch

Wesley had a conflict come up this Tuesday so we had to switch my day in the office. Since the boys don't have school on Mondays, Wesley was home with them all morning. Here's the picture I got today of them reading together!

Thank you, Mom, for those recorded storybooks.
The boys LOVE them and spent a hour this morning "reading" to each other!

We had already made the work switch when Wesley had another conflict come up for Monday afternoon. Late Sunday, we called Kate and asked for the huge favor of watching the boys for us for 3 hours. She graciously said "Bring them over!"

Jackson was so excited! He loves playing with Sam's toys (Sam does have REALLY cool toys!). Wesley called me from the car and Jackson got on the line. He asked if I could not pick him up for a really long time so he could play with Sam! So sweet!

When I arrived, Kate and I talked for a hour and a half while Philip & Jack and Jackson & Sam continued to play.

What an amazing blessing we have in the Hazlewood family!

I adore Kate and value our friendship so much! It is always so nice just to be around her and talk. Wesley and Ben get along great. Both grew up around Knoxville and are UT fans and both love Kate (Ben for many reasons; Wesley for her cooking :-)

And as the most amazing added bonus - our boys are the same age and get along! Now, it took Sam and Jackson some time to become friends because Jackson had a bad habit of hitting Sam (once we found him on top of Sam. It's a wonder Kate let me back in her house!) but they now have bonded over a mutual love for Cars.

And Jack and Philip are the most fun-loving boys in the world and just enjoy playing and laughing together!

I am so blessed with this friendship and look forward to many years of growing closer to this beautiful family.

Look at the smiles on Jack and Philip - they are so cute together.  I can't wait to see the trouble these two find as they get older!
