Fun Times with Friends

Let me just say...I had one crazy weekend. Out on Friday night with the girls for my friend's 40th birthday celebration. I haven't been out with the girls and had that much fun in a LONG time. Got home late then had to get up Saturday and we met our Scottish friends for lunch and the Children's Museum.

They are a lovely family. We met our friends through a Ds listserv finding out that their son A was going to have open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic like Lily did. We were already at the clinic when we started talking via email. Once A arrived for his surgery we met and have stayed in touch ever since. It was so nice to see how much the kids have grown and how well A is doing. They are so sweet to Bill and I, always telling us how much they admire us. It's very touching. We are so glad that we have had the opportunity to meet some amazing families through our experiences. God has blessed us beyond belief! Here are some pictures of our afternoon at the museum.



A and Lily chillin in their strollers!


Look at that happy girl!


Gwynny had a blast! Here she is driving the car. It was very difficult getting her out of there!


Smile Big Boy!
