Open Door

Earlier this year, we started attending Open Door (an off-shoot of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church), held at Aragon High School, which is walking distance from our house. We love the proximity to our home, the engaging Sunday services, the caring folks who play with Spencer in the nursery, and the drinks from the gourmet coffee cart. :) Best of all, though, we've connected with some great families that we hope will be part of our lives for a very long time.


This Sunday, we had a several folks from our "home group" over for lunch. We had a relaxing afternoon enjoying the sunshine in our backyard and catching up on one another's lives. It has been awesome watching the kids bond over time, despite huge age differences (from 5 months old to high school). At any given moment, there's a game of battleship going on, Mariana is making Tyler giggle, Kaitlyn is playing badminton, Madison is reading books to Spencer, Hudson is running around dragging a baseball bat, and Matthew is running away from all the girls... It's mayhem, yet somehow wonderful.
