A visit with beloved friends

Last weekend our dear friends the V family came to visit from the east. We get together every fall and so look forward to our visits. The kids are all a year older and we always have a great time. The weather cooperated again and we were able to spend a lot of time outside. This family has a daughter the same age as Callie and twin 18 mo. old boys- hence one busy mama. Their kiddos couldn't be any cuter and we had weekend full of giggles and fun. The hardest part of the visit is saying goodbye of course and knowing it will be a full year before we see them again.

N. with her beautiful blue eyes. And great hair shot of Carter.

Seriously all their kids have these incredible eyes. Isn't D. sweet!

Anna and her new friend D. She loved having all our friends around.


We decided to do a few tourist things so first on the agenda was heading to the Arch. My kids were so excited as we have never been. It was a gorgeous day and cool to see the city from way up high.

Looking up before we went in. They got a little nervous about going up to the top.

We also went to the Zoo since the weather was cooperating.

I am so sad I somehow didn't get a picture of everyone together. Time went to way to fast and we were sad to see them go. We miss them tremendously and can't wait until next year. Thanks for a great weekend V. family.
