Favorite Foto Friday (#11)

Flowers for no reason. That's worth a favorite photo. Thanks, sweets. ;)

Super Saturday

Months ago we got the invitation to our good friend AJ's baby shower. We planned it so that we could hang out with our friends in Macungie since they live near the place where the shower would be held. We got up early Saturday morning and drove north to be with Brian and Lisa. While I went to the shower Paul and Noah hung out with them.

AJ's shower was no less than wonderful (which I expected, of course!). Her family had decorated the house with ducks and booties and onesies. The food was spectacular and it was just a lovely afternoon. AJ is due in December and as you can tell from the pictures, she looks amazing!!! She is soon to join our camp crew of mommies... we counted and baby Cassidy will be number 7 born to our old gang. It's so hard to believe!!!

The soon to be Mommy and Daddy


Here are numbers 5 and 6, Amelia and Cora


And the whole crew of ladies from our camp days



After the shower I headed back to Brian and Lisa's and we all just had another wonderful night together. These are Paul's friends from high school and again, we just fall back into place as if no time as passed. Their two little boys and Noah played all day and well into the night.... what a riot it was trying to get one good picture of them!

First Fall Fun

On Friday we headed to the local pumpkin patch with the MOMS to play and enjoy the 80 degree weather!!! Noah loved rolling the pumpkins and playing with the animals and trains. It was a nice relaxing morning, plus I got to buy the world's best apples!

An early surprise

On Thursday I picked up Jenn (another old friend) from the airport. We really don't see each other that much, but we snuck in three visits this year...which is unheard of. I picked her up because her mom was turning 60 and there was a big party on Friday night. Well, we had a surprise pre-party before the surprise party. We all got together Thursday night at Jaime's and Jenn's mom thought that this small gathering was her big party. So, I was lucky to spend time with both Jaime and Jenn as well as her parents and siblings. We had a fantastic and relaxing night together.... just like old times!

Like No Time Has Passed....

We are really blessed to have lots of friends from different parts of our lives. Over the past few weeks we have been able to reconnect with some of them and we are always amazed at how it seems like time is irrelevant with old friends. We pick up right where we left off and share everything without hesitation.

The first of these visits was with our dear friend Ali. She was a member at our last church and quickly became a close friend to both Paul and I. She is currently serving on a ship in the US Navy in Japan and had a few weeks home to take a class. We were lucky enough to get on her itinerary on her way to DC. We went for lunch and then came home and talked for hours over yummy afternoon tea on a crisp fall day. We could have kept chatting forever. But alas, Ali had to keep moving and head on to more friends before she headed back to Japan.
