Other fun friends we saw along the way...

Dear sweet Robyn! It was so good to see her - such a great friend! The only bummer was that we didn't get enough time with her!!

It was great to run into Liz at church! We were in a Bible study together before I moved to MD.

More dear friends - Tom and Lorraine!! I shared a wonderful meal with them on Sunday! I'm bummed not to have gotten a picture of Tom too.

Final Stop!

Our last stop was to spend a few wonderful days with Michael, Amber, Kobe and Andrew!
It was such a blessing to have some time to catch up with Amber face to face! And to share the 'mommy' life together for a bit! We went to church together a couple times - it was sweet to be back at The Well! And I enjoyed getting to go to her moms group!
We took walks, went to the park, ate lots, stayed up late talking (a lot harder to recover from the lack of sleep now that we're older and have kids!) and sharing sweet fellowship, hung out with other friends, drank lots of coffee, etc... : ) Oh, and I remembered how to have the camera out and take pictures - so there are LOTS!!!

...just can't get enough...

Sterling was such a trooper!!! For the most part he was pretty patient as the boys loved on him!! They were so sweet with him and could never seem to get enough - especially little Andrew! He was so funny!!!

One of the highlights was to visit and taste their 'favorite little tutie (cookie) place'!!!

It didn't seem to bother Andrew that Sterling was busy eating : )

A yummy lunch out with Amber while her dear husband watched the boys!

Some sweet Auntie Amber lovin'!!

Fun at the park!!

When Tara asked Sophi why she liked to where her sun glasses in the store, Sophi said, "because they make people laugh!" What a little nut!!

...silly Andrew!

Sterling, how 'bout you be the fire-fighter this time?!

Andrew seemed to be especially intrigued by one so much smaller than himself! Almost every time that Sterling was sleeping and I'd come out of the room with out him, Andrew would look past me as though something was missing!

and more...

3rd Stop - Visalia

We got to spend a few days with Suzana (an old roommate), Victor, Lea, and Mia! It was fun sharing mommy life with Suzana! Sterling and Mia are only a little over a month apart so we were doing the whole routine together! Fun!!!

Lea lovin' Sterling and Mia

Enjoying the ride!!!

Beautiful Lea!

2nd Stop Fresno - My CA parents -Rob and Vicki Carter

On Friday we flew to Fresno. Rob picked us up and we dropped by to see Kristen and Lincoln (his daughter in law and grandson)! What a joy to meet little Lincoln!

This too was a rich, relaxing, and refreshing time!!! I was so blessed by rich conversations with both Rob and Vicki individually! I just love them!!!

Out to lunch with Vicki!

How cute are they!!!!

My first big adventure with Sterling - A 2 week trip to CA!

Our first stop was to visit Kaitlyn, Ryan, and Noelle in Costa Mesa!! Sterling was the most amazing little traveler! He never made a peep on the flights! He ate, hung out, and slept like he does here at home. He probably thought it was the greatest thing ever - to be held for so many hours straight!! I, on the other hand, made the silliest mistake I've ever made in all my traveling!!! Instead of getting off the plane to make our transfer like we were supposed to, we stayed on and ended up in LAX! Thankfully we were able to catch a shuttle to Costa mesa! I was just glad we didn't end up in another state!!!
Anyway, we had a blast! Even with two babies we were able to have a couple great conversations! It was refreshing and such a blessing to have time to reconnect!! I did a terrible job of remembering to take pictures so this is all I have!
