Catching Up with Old Friends

I had to laugh at my last post "March Madness." I thought March was crazy; I didn't even have time to post anything in April! After four children, I have come to realize that there is a transition period when an infant officially enters the toddler phase. It becomes all consuming and priorities are redistributed. Blogging became an afterthought, and it was usually after I was comfortably in bed. I believe after several weeks, this week will provide me with an opportunity to update my wonderful family and friends on what has been happening in our life.

In April, we were excited to spend time with dear friends, the Halls. Danny and Johnathan were in residency together, and his wife, Lisa, and I were great friends. Our families were the only two who started residency with young children, so this lead to an immediate bond. We have not seen them since graduation in June 2007! They were coming to our "neck of the woods" and we were in town to see them for the first time in almost FIVE years.
This is Calen and Eve (in the Snow White dress) the last night they played together in '07
And here they are 5 years later!

Also, the last time our families were together, between our two families, we had four children. On this visit, there were eight. The kids immediately bonded, and since it was late, they stayed the night with us.

The kids spending a few more minutes together before the boys had to head upstairs. 
The kids keep asking when they are coming back; hopefully it will be for a longer visit.
