Old Friends and New Friends

One of the great things about going away to college was meeting dear friends far away who grew up nearby. Krista is one of those dear friends. It works well because when we are near our families for visits, we get to see each other! Krista and her husband and family live in Canada now, but they were within visiting distance last week, so we squeezed in a visit with each of our families. It was only a couple of hours long, but still wonderful.

(Perhaps I should not wear my glasses in pictures!)

Here are some pictures of our kiddos. Her oldest, Caleb, is almost 12. Krista was pregnant with Caleb when she was a bridesmaid in our wedding nearly 12 years ago. Chad and Krista's kids are, in age-order from 11 down to 3: Caleb, Katie, Daniel, and Isaac. Our kids really enjoy their kids - the "new friends."

These pictures were taken immediately before Grace slipped and fell on the porch, skinning her chin and lip. You'll probably notice the marks in other pictures...
