Gold Friends

We had a lovely visit from our dear friends Kaitlyn and Mary Kay in August.  Kaitlyn brought her sweet pea twin girls who are three and a half, and both Julia and Davey have not stopped talking about the girls since they left.

It's true what the girl scouts say:

Make new friends
but keep the old.
One is silver
and the other gold.

I adore the kind of old friends who you can just pick up with right where you left off.  We had so much fun catching up, working on decorating ideas and dreaming about a possible mother-daughter trip in the coming years.  My mom even played the guitar for Kaitlyn's girls one night while the girls were in the bath.  I hear the girls thought that was quite fun and now have two mini guitars they are practicing on at home.

Credit goes to AJ who took the last two photos in this post and seems to love being the guy behind the camera. Julia found my blush and attempted to be her own makeup artist prior to the group shot above.  Looks like we might need another six year-old to take over that job.
