Just Like Yesterday...With Some GREAT Additions

Us , Peter & Kristen Burnett, Craig & Molly Phair

Last night Charlie and I had the chance
to meet up with my old friends, Peter & Craig,

and their wives.

Peter and Kristen invited us over for a BBQ
while Craig and Molly were in town for a few days.
It was so FUN...who would've known it's been like
9-12 years in between seeing each other.

We had a HILARIOUS time comparing parenting stories.
We're thinking Peter and Kristen's kids would be great
at calming ours down (they are like little ANGELS).
And our boys would probably wrestle

with the Phair boys all day...
or at least scheme on their next plan of ATTACK together.
(Craig and Molly 's youngest is a sweet little girl
who I'm sure will learn to wrestle just like the lot of 'em). :)

Besides having an EXCELLENT time getting reacquainted,
we learned how to play Apples to Apples...Craig stole 3 rounds
(and ENJOYED winning everybit

as much as he always has).

Anyway, it is so GREAT to have good friends

that you can connect with
no matter how many years pass in between visits.
Hopefully it won't be so many years until our next visit.

So, thanks guys for all the LAUGHS

(nearly "pottied" my pants!)

And Peter, we'll let you REDEEM yourself
for that "BBQ'd" steak whenever you want. :)

P.S. The fact that I posted this less than seven hours

after getting home should IMPRESS you all!

Y

When can I get ANOTHER vacation???

So I've decided that when Winter Break is over next year...
I will be taking an extra week off :)
I thought life was suppose to slow down AFTER
the holidays...we're stuck on fast forward!

The only BIG NEWS to report is
that our dog is no longer "Captain Jack."
I made the executive decision to name him "Einstein"
(He needed a little extra help in the brain department
when it came to pottying OUTSIDE!)

So enjoy our RUDOLF noses for awhile longer.
Maybe they'll come down about the time the tree does.
(Or the Christmas cards get mailed out!)

AGGHHHH!!!!!
