Clayton - look at those eyes!!  The two 2-year-old boys also had matching outfits - Colts! - but we weren't so lucky as to get them to pose together.

We had a great weekend with the Galloises, Boscherts, and Nutts (aka, Gretchen, Kate, and Shelly) this past weekend.  Kate and Gretchen arrived with their families on Friday evening, and we just hung out and had pizza while the kids all re-acquainted themselves with each other.  Saturday, while the guys played golf, the moms took the kids to the Zionsville Farmers Market and the park - then Shelly's family came in and we headed to the pool.  We capped off the day with a cookout at our house that evening, and had a great time getting caught up.  Sunday morning before the trip back to St. Louis, we went to the splash park for a while, and then my kids took a loooong nap Sunday to recover from all of the festivities!  When asked what Melanie's favorite part of the weekend was (I thought there would be a lot of highlights, hanging out with all of the "older" girls - 2 seven year olds and 2 five year olds!!) - her answer was "My favorite part of the weekend was God and Jesus."  Well, then.

We're lucky that not only have we maintained our 17/18-year-old friendship, but also that our husbands genuinely like each other, and our kids have fun together.
