Visitors from AZ!

Devon and I go back to college.  She was my Resident Director during my first couple years as a Resident Assistant and we became fast friends.  I was her maid of honor and stood up for her on one of the most important days of her life.  She and Brian lived in MA so we wouldn't see each other all that often, but when we did hang out it was like no time had passed.  She is just one of those friends that we can pick up right where we left off, no matter how much time has passed.  And after about a year of being married (if my memory serves me correctly!), Brian and Devon moved to AZ.  They became a family with the birth of their daughters, Aubrey and Ciara.  And Michael and I started a family with our little AJ.  I've been out there to visit a few times and when they come back east we always try to meet up too.  And last year when they came back to MA, we missed each other...but this time around I wasn't going to let that happen!  Devon had to meet AJ and I had to meet Ciara and see Aubrey again! SO, we made it happen!  While Brian was out golfing this morning, Devon and the girls packed up in MA and headed down to CT for a visit with us.  As expected, it was as if no time had passed between our visits and the kids got along great.  I cannot wait for when they permanently move back east so we can hopefully get together more often!  Devon and girls - it was absolutely great hanging out this morning!  We cannot wait for our next visit with you!  Brian - we missed you!

Aubrey having fun on AJ's tigger-horse

Ciara wasn't sure what to make of Porter

'Hey Aubrey.. you have some powder on your face from the munchkin you just ate!'

'Oh hey there, Miss Ciara!'

Ciara enjoyed exploring the leaves outside

And my sandals too!

AJ was showing Devon and Aubrey the garden his Dad planted this year

Ciara had to join in on the fun too!

Checking out our backyard since they don't have much grass in AZ!

Aren't these two just adorable?!  They became best buds during their visit!

Devon and the kids playing

Aubrey very much enjoyed the fact that I bought her powdered munchkins for breakfast!

She had a little accident with the jelly! Oops!

Loving having the kids together! Such a great visit!
