Hub of Activity

Preparations for Caleb's big bash are under way! While I'm trying to decorate, fill goodie bags, cook and wrap presents, Caleb is in his element. He helped me for a while this morning, but then knocks kept coming to the door. First Chase, his little buddy down the street, to show off his new Spiderman Halloween costume. Then Collin to have lunch with Caleb and play for a while... Finally, Chase came back over and the three boys are livin' it up. They're playing basketball and air hockey in the basement. They've had their fill of "treats" from the pantry, and now all I hear is random hoop-la and laughing.

I love that our house is the hub of activity. I love it that Caleb's friends want to come and play here. I love it that I know his friends and they all know me, and that they feel comfortable here. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.

Now ... if only Andrew would nap!
