Nothing like old friends


Some of our wonderful friends from our last two assignments (both Illinois and Oklahoma) were able to come by yesterday to visit. They were on their way home from vacation and had the afternoon to come by and visit with us all for a while.

The boys loved having Brian here to wrestle with, they’ve missed that rough housing they usually do when Chris is home.

And the girls were on their most charming and silliest behavior, thrilled to have some familiar playmates. We hung out for a while, and then went to one of our favorite local restaurants for lunch. It was great having company (and help!) at mealtime.

We reminisced about old times and talked about all the things we have going on now and in the near future. Back at the house we let the kids play for a few more hours before they had to get on the road again. Brian even managed to get in a quick nap in our big red chair. I was reminded how comfortable and easy it is to visit with old friends. It was a wonderful afternoon … thanks guys, come on back anytime and stay awhile 🙂
