Jacob asks Paul and I to come and visit him at work when we are out during the week.

As his birthday arrived, we thought it would be a good idea to take the whole family for lunch. We didn’t tell anyone but Courtney and Joshua what we were planning. The younger children all assumed we were dressing them for Wednesday night church service.

Jacob was surprised to see all of us! His manager was kind enough to allow him to have his break and eat with us.

It seemed to be a wonderful surprise. We didn’t have any meltdown moments (which can happen at any time with this many littles!). It was a good visit!!
