Friends Make the World Go Round

It has been great to get together with friends in between family visits this summer. Last week, Cade and I went to Houston to see Kelsey, Natalie, and Henry. "Baby" Henry is growing up so fast, especially now that we don't see him every week anymore! All of the kids had fun splashing in the backyard pool as soon as we got there.



Cade showed Natalie his newest toys, two Transformers. This is what happens when Cade and Chance go to Target with me :) It is so interesting to see how Cade and Natalie have grown in to such a BOY and a GIRL. Cade introduced Natalie to his Transformers and Natalie insisted on wearing her "princess dress" after the pool.



We stayed with the Johnson's for dinner and were so happy to share a meal and fellowship with our wonderful friends. We can't wait to see you again!

This weekend, Cade and I went to New Braunfels for a get together with my high school friends. The night before, we spent the night at Oma and Opa's house, where Cade and Opa cooled off in the pool.



Jenny and Ryan were so sweet to open their home to all of us for our annual summer gathering. It was so great to see my girlfriends from high school and their families. Even though we don't see each other very often, we always have such great chats and love seeing our kids play together.

Here are Clark, Walker, Fischer, Cade, and Marianne playing upstairs
