What a great weekend!

This weekend we did something totally different as a couple and family. Our friend Jenny who introduced us in college has a construction company and has started a local ministry to feed & clothe the needy in Birmingham. She and I have been hanging out again and it is so good to reconnect with old friends. We used to hang out as married couples years ago, but once the kids started coming we just got too busy. Anyways she has asked for help with taking food to families around Birmingham once a month. They are doing the Angel Food Ministry and asking anybody to go online and order a box of food and put it towards the GKC (their company) mission. They have been getting names of families from people who know they need the food. So this past Saturday morning was our first time to take food to 3 families. Parker was really into this as well and enjoyed getting out of the car with us to take them food. The first family was truly shocked that we were there giving them food. You could tell that they really needed the food and they couldn't believe that we would coming on there door to give them food. David and I really enjoyed doing this new ministry together and look forward to many more months of this.
In the afternoon we got out in the yard again together and did some planting and cleaning out the garden beds. This is something that we both enjoy and love to see what we have planted grow. Parker was a big help along side us and loved taking his Gator around the yard with flowers.
That night we had a date night and instead of hiring a babysitter like we have been doing lately we had some good friends of ours take the boys. We are each going to take turns taking care of our kids so we can out and not have to pay for a sitter. This will be great for all of us and the kids have so much fun together.
David and I enjoyed getting out of the house to have dinner as a couple and then spend some time shopping for the boys for Christmas ideas. It was so nice to not have our names constantly being called or having to do something for them. We got to focus on just us. Love date nights with my hubby.
Here are some cute pictures of the boys this weekend. Enjoy!
Caleb sitting in the Bumbo seat at the dinner table. He was across the table from Parker and thought he was big stuff.
Parker wanted to get a picture with Caleb.
The first time Caleb is riding in the Gator with Parker with the help of Daddy.
Too cute!
I am so blessed to have 2 wonderful boys and a great husband. Seeing them play together, the laughter and just being with them just makes me so happy and proud to have them in my life. God has truly Blessed David and I with 2 amazing little boys.
