Family Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

This week has been full of family time, and we have all loved it. J & T came with Baby Sweet on monday, we canned peaches and made pies all day with them as well as A, K, and all the kids. :) Tuesday i hosted dinner for everyone at our place, then Wednesday we did that again, this time without the boys. It was guys-night/girls-night. The men went wake boarding, and we women stayed in to eat great food and polish nails. Oh yes, there was a foot bath too (thanks to A!!) and some massages. :)

We celebrated A's upcoming bday because it is rare to get all of the girls in the Fam together at once. (with our country being as large as it is). It was wonderful to have all Six of the Naus women in one house together (along with four children too). What a blessing family is. We are all so different, a very diverse group of ladies. I am thankful for that, thankful that we are all different and able to learn from each other and laugh together. Back to A's bday; i just have to say, this girl warms my heart. There is something so kindred about Ann. She has a lot of creative spark in her and a lot of gentle words. I really appreciate the years i've known her, and look forward to spending many more getting to know her better. *oh, she gives awesome massages, of which i was the recipient on our Girls NIght!! yippeeee*



Mercy loved the foot bath when the bubble setting was turned on. hahaha. I gave 'Jo' the usual pre-wedding-massage that i like to do. :) Julia was allowed to stay up with the "Gals" and have her nails painted. She LOVED being one of us, and I am shocked at how quickly she actually HAS become one of us. She has grown up so so so fast.






Here Mark and Karli are practicing: they are expecting their firstborn in late January, so here they are with all their nieces and nephew. :)
