Dinner Guests

Tonight we had a houseful of little people! It was great to have some children around again! Richard brought his 4 children to eat dinner with us tonight. His wife, unfortunately, wasn't feeling too well. But I'm sure she appreciated a quiet evening at home without the children, so we were happy to have the children dine with us. We got off to a bit of slow start, because the children were a bit shy to speak any English to us.

But after supper, we got out the games. After running around in circles with the 2 year old and the 4 year old, playing tickle monster, I played some Uno with the oldest boy (I think he's about 11) and Richard. Grace, in the meantime, played with the other children, tossing around a beachball and playing with a jump rope. It was SO nice to have some children running around, squealing and giggling for a while. I had forgotten how much I miss having some interaction with the little ones. Kinda makes me miss my nephews and all my friend's children... Anyways, here's a photo that I took, unfortunatley, you can't really see the faces of most of them.

Jackie and Grace seem to be concentrating rather hard on eating their meat stew and rice!
