Friends - We Love 'Em

We LOVE spending time with our friends, and we're blessed to have such great ones. We had a very fun visit from the Thomas family a couple weekends ago. We were charmed by "little" Lukey's silly personality. The kids had a great time playing together and loving on each other.

Other the past month or so, we have had a couple other friend activities, pictured below as well!
We love Lukey!!!

Turning 30 is FUN!

Just today, Aaron and I returned from Aaron's 30th birthday present to me - a trip to Philedelphia and New York! What a great gift. It was just the two of us, and we had a blast!!!!

We spent the entire trip using only public transportation. We shared in a lot of adventure, saw a lot of things, walked a ton, saw a couple shows, and ate amazing food!!!

Below, are just a few of our pictures to share with you. If you are interested in hearing more about the Chinese bus transit, our China town adventure, or the time I thought I was going to be stuck in an automatic door forever, just give us a call or email. We would love to share our stories!

Later Gators

Yesterday, Tyler said "See ya later, gators" to his pesky tonsils and adenoids. Aaron and I had more of a response of, "good ridence!" We were glad to see them go!!!

Tyler was a superstar throughout the process. Even his nurse was impressed with his rapid recovery. He was eating and drinking like a champion within a couple hours. While at the hospital, he ate a plateful of potatoes, some fruit, 3 cups of ice cream, and 1/2 a popsicle. He continued the great trend after we went home, as well.

We were allowed to leave the hospital by 2:30 in the afternoon, and Tyler was glad to be free and in his own clothes again. Below you can see some pictures of the big day.

Great job, Tyler!!! You were so brave!!!
