Too many years...

...since the four of us have been all together. I am guessing that the last time we really spent time all together was before Vickie's wedding- which was how long ago?? Four girl friends from high school- we've already past our 10 year anniverary, and there have been lots of changes and little blessings along the way. Vickie stayed put in MI, but I moved out of state, Kara has been in Cambodia, and Al has traversed the face of the globe. But our last week in MI, we were all together with our families... my only regret is that we didn't get a complete group shot before Vickie's family left.

But there were lots of giggles when Darryl & Kara spent the night...

Sophie, Selah, Noah, Judah, Evie (missing from the action) & Isaiah- we've kept up the every other in age order!

The big girls with their 'baby' siblings! Is was very, very special to be able to meet Calvin again- he's looking so grown up with his big boy haircut!!! We love you, Calvin!

Isaiah discussing beach construction with friend Kezia...

A loaded golf cart- 3 daddies & at least 6 kids on top!

Picnic lunch for the crowd...

Who likes mini golf???

9 kiddoes on the couch...

Selah was very proud to be able to hold Calvin...

And Hannah was so utterly exhausted, she slept through all the excitement...

Here's the 3 of our families...(with a new little guy about to make his arrival any day...)

It was oh so good to be together again. The Lord has blessed each of us in so many ways and along such different paths, but friendship in Christ will last forever.
