Two weeks ago, Hurricane Warkentien blew into Portsmouth and it was a category 4! Although it was only here for a couple of days it sure did do a lot of damage but the clean-up was well worth the fun we had while it was in town.
The Warkentien's (Tyler, Shelby, Jackson (3), & Kate (10 mo.)) are some of our good friends who now live in San Diego. They are spending the summer in DC while Tyler is doing tropical medicine training at Bethesda and they decided to venture back to Portsmouth for the weekend to visit us and hang out with some other friends. It was quite a whirlwind of a weekend for them trying to make the rounds and visit all of their old friends in just 2 short days, all the while trying to make sure the kiddos didn't get to far off their routines.
On Saturday, we had a cookout at our house and our friends Bethanne and Danny and their 2 girls Eliana and Emily joined in on the fun. On Sunday after church a big group of us had lunch at the Olive Garden and then the Warkentien's got back on the road for DC. It was so nice having them stay with us and although it definitely made for a full house we wouldn't have changed a thing because we got a lot of quality time with some great friends we haven't seen in a long while.

"but I'm not a big fan of the bow!"
(Kate held her own in this battle, she was after Liam's paci!)
