Carter and Ruby meet for the first time.

Katie, Chris, Carter, Melissa, Josh, Ruby, me and Alan

Yesterday -- I was able to catch up with some of my favorite people.......my friend Josh and his wife Melissa and Chris and his wife Katie. If you have been following this blog you will know about my friendship with Josh and Chris. Well, this year, they both had an addition to their families. Chris and Katie welcomed son Carter on August 20 and Josh and Melissa welcome daughter Ruby on September 10th. Chris and Katie live in Southern Florida so yesterday was the first time we have been able to meet Carter. The photo above shows all of us together. It was fun having everhone together -- they are extended family to me and I am so grateful to them continuing to stay in touch with me and being apart of their lives.

I'm here

I know I haven't posted in awhile.....but I've been in Illinois visiting my family......but most of all, hanging out with my great niece and nephews.

This is Henry
This is Dekoda

And this is Oliver

Aren't they adorable?
