Kahlers visit!

My dearest friend from middle school and high school, Sarah Kahler, brought her two lovely kiddos to IL for a much needed visit. We had so much fun, remembering our crazy days and sharing our lives as they exist now, four kids between the two of us! It was a wonderful week, with many laughs and lots of naps/whining/juice bottle mixups/diaper changing, etc, etc. Makes me glad that I have just two for myself at the moment:) Thanks, Sarah, for taking the time out to visit; seeing you is always a beautiful reminder of my old self and an encouragement that there will always be someone out there who forked lawns, learned how to spit and loved me in a way no one else does. Thank God for best friends!

Olivia loving on Ari. Oh what a different life we'd have if either child was the other sex!

Hanging out in our "kids pool". Um, it would hold like 8 adults. Not appropriate for our deck.

Dane insisted on wearing Ari's sunhat.

Henry, the sweetie-pie.

Beautiful Olivia, my god-daughter.

I think Henry and Olivia had something going on.
