Although we miss Grandpa and Grandma (my parents) when they go away for a trip, we also love going out to their house to housesit and keep an eye on Gus, the beagle. It’s really nice being out in the country. Tons of space to roam and play, quiet and peaceful nights, larger rooms, and three whole bathrooms! It’s also really nice that when one of the kids is looking for me, they can’t always find me right away!
I think three years ago was the first time we spent considerable time out there, watching the house while they were in Kenya for my sister Grace’s wedding. We had just two kids then: 4-year-old Emry and 2-year-Ethan.
Today, of course, there are three kids: 7-year-old Emry, 5-year-old Ethan, and 2-year-old Ellyson. How time has flown!

Another thing we have enjoyed doing as a family is going out for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It’s not something we do very often, maybe two or three times a year. But as I was looking for the above picture, I also found this one:

Which is quite a change from the one I took this past week!

The kids aren’t the only ones who have changed…
