Trip to Ohio

The week after Easter break and having Augie and Heather visit, our family headed to Akron, OH. At the Pastors' College Eric was given two preaching assignments. The first was over Thanksgiving weekend in Brooklyn, NY and the second was at our dear friends' church in Akron. Eric and I have known Jason and Laurie for years. We knew each other before we were all married and we follow a similar time line in marriage, babies and Eric and Jason becoming pastors. 

Visiting the Reyes' family and being with their church was a highlight of our year. We were so blessed by the kindness and generousity we received. Laurie is a great host being very hospitable in her home and also took us girls out to a tea room and a local candle/gift shop (can't remember the name of it). Jason and Eric took all the boys to the Football Hall of Fame and need I say more - my guys were in heaven. After church on Sunday we headed about an hour away from their home to a hotel that has a really fun pool. Our kids had such a great time playing with the Reyes' twin boys, Joshua and Caleb, Izzy and Maggie.
