A Sweet Visit...

The Emert family came to visit our family for a few days.
Our time was so enjoyable.
*Walker, Wes, Wyatt, me, Lalla (reaching for) Olivia, Courtney, Lincoln, Jeremy and Jude

Olivia and Wyatt are 1 month apart
Walker and Jude are 9 months apart
Lincoln and Lalla are 1 day apart

And the funny thing is, we first became friends when we each had 1 child.
Olivia and Wyatt.
We used to meet regularly with this family in Florence - with Tuesday night dinners. They'd bring a few items and so would we. We'd put the kids down and then the adults would talk, for hours.
*Walker, running. With passion.

our time with them was just the same. We put the kids down and talked.
For hours.
On this particular day we went to the park and had a picnic.

*Me kissing Lalla. Lalla making a kissy face

We've been through seasons of joy and seasons of pain together.
They are the kind of friends that you don't have to pick up your house for, because they've seen it dirty and they help clean when they come. We can talk through things, really honestly with.
And its comical, encouraging and just.
Good.


And we miss them.
A lot.
