Painting fun

We had a really nice weekend this past weekend. On Saturday we took the kids down to the Chattahoochee river to wade in the water. We walked up and down for quite awhile and the kids loved it! At one point, Alexia slipped on the rocks and fell in, face first. She was FURIOUS and clung on to her daddy for dear life after that. We enjoyed a family lunch at Chik Fil A afterwards and then headed home for lunch.
The sweet Irby family arrived in the evening to spend the night and we had a great time. Taylor went to a friend's birthday party so Ricardo and I kept Josh up late playing Settlers of Catan. We had a great time and were so blessed by their time with us. They have such a dependence on God that encourages us and reminds us that God IS in control and God DOES provide. We had a very early morning on Sunday and headed to church for the morning. We all returned here to have lunch and to put the 4 kids down for a nap. As soon as the last child's head hit the pillow, Taylor and I escaped. We went out for a special coffee/cookie/gelato date and had a wonderful time. We returned to all four kids awake and full of energy so we took them outside to paint:
