Weekend play date with Wyatt

One of my best buds from graduate school and his sweet wife, Marybeth, had us over to cookout and celebrate the end of yet another grueling graduate school semester! Catherine Ellis has been looking forward to playing with their 10 month old son, Wyatt, ever since her birthday party! So, off we went on Saturday night for our play date with Wyatt (and good times with Ryan and Marybeth).

First let me say just how thankful I am for my graduate school friends. Ryan was one of the first people I met at a luncheon - before I even took my GRE - and we quickly became friends after our first semester. I don't know what I would do with his support, guidance and friendship. And one of the best parts of the deal has been getting to know his equally fabulous wife, Marybeth. We have prayed each other through the past 3 years especially when the going gets tough - school, work, moving, pregnancies - and what a blessing to have prayerful friends in our lives! So thank you to Ryan (and Marybeth and David) for being such a great friend and persevering through graduate school with me - it's so much easier with friends on your side. We are certainly looking forward to next May!

We had a great time Saturday night - Wyatt and Catherine Ellis played well together and had a good time - they made a big mess, so if you judge by the size of the mess, a great time was had by all. Wyatt is such a happy little guy - we can't wait to play again soon! Thanks Farrells for a wonderful Saturday evening!

Ready to hit the town Saturday morning

Well hello Mr. Wyatt

How many teeth do you have?

Hum...

Hey Wyatt, I'm right here!

Two cutie pies!

Handsome Wyatt

Climbing on the beloved train - Catherine Ellis loved this train!

Being told she had to get off the train to go home ... not pretty!
