Michaela misses her friends the most I think, but she is very good about it. These girls were hardly heard from all afternoon, they were off chatting by themselves!
Ava was SO EXCITED to see Riley, she couldn't wait! They had a blast together. I am kind of paranoid in park situations, especially when there are other people around. I worry that someone is going to make off with a kid, so I watch really closely. It was even harder with 3 others that weren't mine to look after! I had my neck craned all over the place making sure they were all there!
Jason and I were so excited to spend an afternoon with our friends. These are all friends we have been close to since high school, it was hard to move away from them. Good thing we only live 2 hours away; not to long to drive for a night with some good people!
I am surprised I didn't take more pictures than I did. Guess I was having to much fun chatting. We had dinner, and I made a dutch oven chocolate pudding cake. YUM. You know me, its not a party without sweets!
We stayed and chatted until it got dark, then we went back to the Merrell's to play games and talk some more. Then we hung out with my mom most of the day Sunday. It was a nice weekend! We also made a trip over to our house to pick something up, and were able to see what the renters have done with the inside. It is so weird to see your house with other people and their stuff inside. Definitely makes it not yours anymore! But I am also so surprised at how easy we have adjusted here. It was so easy. It is sometimes weird to me to look around this rented house we are living in and feel at home. The saying "Home is where the heart is" must be true.
We usually take a family pic or two at this BBQ, which is turning into an annual thing. I hope we keep doing it, the BBQ and the pics!

I am glad you got to go to Idaho. I am sure that is quite an adjustment for your girls, but I am so pleased to hear it is going to smoothly. It looked like a fun time. Do you hang out with Aaron Harker? Is that him in the picture with Jason? I worked several years with him at Camp Taylor with Aunt Mary. If it is, what a small world it turns out to be.
Jon told me he helped you to be the neighborhood natural disaster coordinator. Is that keeping you busy. Sounds like a great way to meet all the people in your neighborhood.
I am so pleased your move has gone so well.
It was soo glad to see you all! Sorry we had to ditch out early...can't wait for the next get together
Wish we could have been there with you!!! We wish we were close enough to make that drive. We were so glad that you called though:)
We had a GREAT time! We were glad everyone could get together. It was so good that we could see you after your move without having to wait too long. I guess now it's our turn to come visit you!
