Fabulous friends

This is ridiculous of me... I have a bunch of pictures my dear friend Amy took and has been emailing them to me... so that I could let them sit in my email for several months.  Here they are now, completely random in the timeline of our lives, but special to me nonetheless.  Our families have unofficially adopted each other (well, they can't get rid of me, I'm too attached, whether they like it or not) so the Starks have appeared throughout our blog once in awhile, but here are more.  Above and below you are looking at us hiking last September (2012) and I can't even remember where we were.

Next up, Dec 31st 2012.  This was our New Year's Eve Party with the Sprays and the Starks.  We had a lot of delirious fun, and yes, we let the kids stay up.   We played slap scrabble and ate strawberry cream pie...mmmm... Amy is good with desserts... Wonderful friends!  We so love our friends!!

 And, here we are in June, at the cabin.  Above we have Ashton, Brennan, and Dylan.  I love this picture- this illusion of sweet perfection you see.  Totally fabricated.  They are bananas together!!!! 

                           Addy, oh Addy!  I love Addy!  Everybody loves Addy!  Especially me. 

This is Addy saying "Mom, u-up!"  Look at her face!  She called me mom for a few weeks, Amy is "Mama" of course.  But mostly "Na-na" or Gi-na".  I love to spoil her.  We decided I get to be her Godmother even though we are not Catholic.  There will be an official ceremony in Pig Latin, since we don't speak Latin.
