Mike invited Stephen and Roxanne (and their boys Jett and Quinn) from Tae Kwon Do over for dinner last night. Roxanne has been telling Mike that she wanted to get the boys together for some time now and we thought that this would be a good way to do that. We asked them to bring a bottle of wine and maybe a little desert. I had to laugh when they showed up with 4 bottles of wine (they couldn't decide which one to bring so they brought them all) and a French Silk pie. (For a visual of Stephen, Jett and Quinn (I don't have one of Roxanne, though), look here http://mbjdh1999.blogspot.com/2007/10/jacobs-photo-post.html )
The kids immediately ran off to play...Jett and Jacob (they're both in third grade) desperately tried to keep the younger kids out of Jacob's room. Who would have thought that Quinn and Hannah would have become a pair. She told me this morning that Quinn told her that he was going to marry her when they're older. Ahhh...if arranged marriages were still around. LOL! It was nice that the kids all got along so well because we got to chatting and completely lost track of time.
Several hours, and two bottles of wine (hard to believe it was only two) later, it was time to call it a night. Hannah had fallen asleep on the couch and Jett and Quinn were hiding from their parents so they wouldn't have to go home. It seriously didn't feel like they were here until almost midnight.
It was so nice to have people over again. I really missed having friends over for dinner. This is really the first time we've done it since we've moved here. Friends used to come over all of the time in Virginia. Having friends definitely makes Barb a much happier person.
