Trains and Toddlers

It was wild at our house today.  There were toys everywhere, kids running and playing and laughing (and of course hitting, they're 2).  The mom's were over today with all of the little ones, six two year olds, 2 babies and six moms (two of which are due very soon).
See what I mean?  Chaos!
I have been waiting for this moment for a while, for the house to be filled to the brim with joyful sounds.  This is what makes a home feel like a home.  In the midst of all the trains and trucks, there were conversations happening.
Leo ready for his friends to come.
All morning long, Leo and I were talking about our friends coming and I could barely get Leo to eat breakfast because he was so excited.  He wanted to show them his room.  As people were packing up, Leo ran to the window and said, "my friend Zach is gone.  He's gone." 

It really felt like our home today.  Opening your home and coming together is what it is all about.  Homes are meant to be filled with our friends.

Amy liked it too.  She jumped right in.

What a wonderful way to spend few hours of your day! I love hearing kids play.
