A good time had by all!

We went to West Lafayette, Indiana to visit the Davis family this past week. They moved from Ft. Worth in June to begin RUF, a college ministry, at Purdue University. We had such a great time with them and even though it was crazy juggling 4 boys the whole time, it was so much better doing it together than apart. We really miss them a lot and it was good to spend some quality time with them and their sweet boys. Dustin is about to go up the slide and Jack is attempting to swing in the swing!

All the boys loved playing outside together!


Brian, Jack, myself, and Tim went on an ice cream run while Jeanette graciously watched Dus, Matthew and Caleb. We had lots of fun and as you can tell, Jack really enjoyed his ice cream. Not only did he finish his cone, but asked his Dad for "just one bite" of his and ended up finishing that, too!
Jeanette of course was amazing with all the kiddos and loved all the chaos. Here they are having a picnic together...

Caleb is a real servant and thought he would help the Davis clan out by mowing their lawn...what a guy!

Tim and Brian on cookout duty...Brian made these amazing burgers with onions and bread crumbs....the students at Purdue are going to love cookouts at the Davis casa!

Chooch (with a ball in hand of course) was fascinated with the guitar and loved to hear Brian play.

The guitar playing began with Jack on his guitar singing "Bob the Builder" and then he convinced his Dad that he needed backup from him.

Tim and Caleb at dinner....

Jack and his surprised face!

Here is a pic of all of us getting pizza together at this local pizza joint near Purdue. The food was AMAZING and all of the kids loved it!

Jeanette, Dustin, Caleb, Emily, and Matthew hanging out after playing in the water...
We went to these really fun fountains on Purdue's campus where kids go play in the water on sunny days. Jeanette and I were thinking it could be disastrous if the kids were afraid of the water, but it ended up being great and all the kids seemed to really love it, especially Jack!

The Davis fam cooling off...

The Bates fam keepin it real in polos and and wet diapers....

Caleb's sweet smile....melts your heart! He is so thinking about jumpin off this couch!

Both boys were fascinated with Jack's KU football helmet and would put it on and off and then sometimes leave it on and run around...it was very entertaining!

Aunt Emmy with her sweet boys who she misses so much! We love you guys!

It is sooo wonderful to keep in contact with dear friends. If it is important enough to you....you will actively MAKE time to be together. Apparently, your friendship is strong....what an investment of time and love! Those kids have enriched both of your families lives. What fun you will have in the future....Love, GN
