Conroe Trip

C/J are in town for a short break and we had a chance to spend some time with them in Conroe, TX.  They were renting a house for a month from someone in their church, so we packed our clan up and stayed with them one night.  We decided to spend the night with them the Saturday before Asher was being baptized at The Woodsedge Church. 

After working out at the YMCA, we drove an hour to their house just in time for E's nap.  We skipped lunch because we had a ridiculously breakfast with Nana and Tata at IHOP.  While E slept, I went to H.E.B with Jaime and the dads watched the other kids.  OU football was on TV and they were winning big so both B and C were in good moods.  When we got back from the grocery store, J and I made snacks and we all ate a bit.  The weather was rainy so we couldn't really go outside and play, but the kids kept themselves busy with toys inside.

A little while later into Saturday afternoon, J's brother and his family stopped by for a visit.  They were on their way to the Bashaw house, to catch a flight early the next morning for CA.  The only other time I'd been around them was when C/J got married.  They were nice and their 3 boys played with the rest of the kids.  They did not stay for dinner, so after they left, we had pizza delivered from Dominoes (our fav).  The rest of the evening consisted of dinner, play, smore's, baths, and bed for the kids.  C/J/B and I had really good conversation about a lot of different topics after the kids went to bed.  I enjoyed our time together a lot. 

Sunday morning J made breakfast for us all and we relaxed before heading out to church.  We followed them to their church and all sat together ready to watch Asher's dedication.  After the service, all of us (Hantla fam and the Bashaws plus friends) went out to eat before heading back to Houston.  It was a nice lunch, and the kids slept on the way home. 

 B and I were thankful we had some time with C/J and their kids.  They leave Jan 7, so our time is coming to a close and we will miss them greatly.  C/J have such a heart for helping change the culture over there and we leave inspired after any time spent with them. 

Matthew 28:18-20 ¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
