Friends, Food, and Fun!

Today we got together with my college friends. I met Amee, Heather, Jennifer, and Kelly at Indiana University where we all were sorority sisters at Alpha Omicron Pi. We do not have many chances to see each other and hang out, but this year we managed a girls weekend in April in Chicago and then today we all were together with husbands and kids. It was a little crazy, but everyone had a blast! We ate lunch at my parent's house and then headed out to the pool. Frank even managed to squeeze in a round of golf with Jeff, Heather's husband. It was warm and sunny outside and made for a great swimming day!

In April, none of us were pregnant (which has been the norm for the better part of the past 4 years!). Now, Heather is-- Congrats to Heather and Jeff. I had never met Clare, Kelly and Keith's youngest daughter (she will be one in a few weeks) and Jennifer had never met Amee's youngest, Grant (who will be 3 in October). All in all, there was a lot of catching up to do after 4 short months! Kelly made each of us a DVD slide show with old pictures in it and we all realized have been friends for 13 years! Wow!

Here's to 13 more and many more after that, girls!

Eating lunch with the group! There were 6 kids under the age of 4! Around the table are: Tyler (green and white striped shirt), (Keith) Clare, (Heather) Jack, Grace, Grant, and Rileigh. It's a little tough getting all these kids to look when lunch is being served!

"Giddy up, giddy up!" Grace caught a ride home on the duck. He moved a bit slow, he's got lead feet!
Jack, Grace, and Tyler playing outside after our trip to the pool. They all had a great time and played wonderfully together!
Tyler introduced Jack to the great game of hockey. Tyler was so excited to have a friend to introduce to hockey! Thanks Jack for playing along! I had to put this picture in-- so cute! Clare and Keith taking a break at the pool. What a trooper she was!

Those pictures are so cute! All of the kids were cracking me up. Isn't it funny how they got along so well? Keith's comment when we were leaving was, "those were a good-looking group of kids!:) Of COURSE, Keith- look at their hot mommas! :)

Thanks to your parents and you guys for hosting us today! We had a great trip. I am so glad that we were able to see you while you were here. I know you have had a busy trip, hopefully today was a little more relaxing for you- at least as relaxing as it can be with 6 kids running around, right?

Enjoy the rest of your stay!

We had so much fun on Saturday, Riliegh and Grant didn't want to leave, especially Grant he loves playing with Tyler and Jack. The kids were all so good and played great together. We even had Dewees playing with the kids while we were all up at the table.. how did that happen? Ha! Can't wait until the next time we get together.
