On Thursday Dave drove down south to attend a conference for pastors. On Friday, I picked the girls up from school and we drove down to meet him. We couldn't miss the opportunity to spend time with two of our favorite families who live in the same area as the conference.
On Saturday morning and through lunch we caught up with Beth, Allie, Nathan and their parents Phil and Teri. Teri and I walked the kids to the park and chatted about the teaching we're excited to do in the upcoming school year (she was just hired to teach 2nd grade full time). Phil and Dave got to watch the hockey game-- fun since Phil is a Detroit fan, but not so fun since the Blackhawks lost. Teri's kids are so fantastic, though there's an age difference with our girls, they play hard with Ella and Delia and keep them well entertained. Time with these dear friends always revives our souls.
The afternoon and dinner hour were spend with Dorina, Ericlee and their family. These friends were amazing to squeeze a few hours of visiting with us into a weekend that included a 100 mile bike race for Ericlee and a half marathon run for both of them! Both were efforts by Team Remember Haiti to continue raising money for their ministry. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Whole Foods and some great conversation. Our goofy, charades-playing daughters provided us with plenty of laughter too! Can you tell they're having just a little bit of fun? :)
How these friends bless us and enrich our lives! Thank you, Lord, for the gift of lasting friendships.

Yay, I was thinking of you this weekend, knowing that you were going to be having so much fun with these special people. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! And the pics from the new camera are fun, too. :)
