Friday night with friends and a silly Saturday a.m.

At the Turner's for dinner
We've been friends with Jennifer and Blaine Turner and their family for over 17 years. It hardly seems possible that it's been that long. Jenn has had a special connection with Alyssa as she was always there as an encourager and mentor through Lyssa's teens and even into her married life.


We spent a few hours catching up and letting the Turner's get to know Rowan, Katie and Evie better.
IT guys and bicycle enthusiasts
Har and Blaine are both in the IT world. I really didn't know what IT stood for other than it has something to do with computers. So I googled it.
The Information Technology Association of America has defined information technology (IT) as "the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems", but the term has also been applied more narrowly to describe a branch of engineering dealing with the use of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data. 

Harlan uses his bike for commuting almost exclusively. Blaine bike commutes some but is more of the hard core get out and ride kind of guy. These two have a lot more in common than work and biking. They are both Godly men who are also awesome husbands, dads and friends.
Lego-mania with Joel
The Turner's son Joel took out his big bins of Legos for Rowan to play with.


Katie built some creations as well. They had a bunch of Evie friendly toys too.
Little Evie-Jump-up


Our trip to Just 4 Kids scored a Johnny Jump-up for Evie. It's installed in the doorway between the dining room and the living room. She has been jumping and spinning to her heart's content. 
Katie likes playing the the play house.
Kate runs around and round Evie as she spins around too. Katie said, "Look Evie's chasing me!"
Eve was joined by a "friend" on her tray.  Too bad that Oregon State didn't win against the Washington Huskies. 
The Beavs have had a great season so far though with only one loss.
