Gold Friends

Old friends are like gold.  Reminds me of a silly song I sang as a girl scout, "Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and they other's gold."  As we make some new friends here in SA, I dearly miss the great ones we have left behind.  So we were so excited to be able to visit with some of these friends recently. 

 In mid June we were visited by some of our favorite people, the Frazier family.  We enjoyed a weekend catching up with them.  It was just like old times on Friday night when the four of us left the littles with a babysitter and we took off for some adult time.  It meant so much to Mark and I that we could feel like we could just pick up where we left off six months before.  And then we had a fun and sweaty time the next day when we took all four kiddos to Sea World.  We were so exhausted when we returned, that all eight of us took an afternoon nap. 

At the end of June, the four of us took a trip up to our old stomping grounds to visit with some more of our favorite friends.  The girls and I spent the morning doing our old Saturday morning routine:  walking at town lake and feeding the ducks.  But this time, we were able to do with it with my dear old high school friend and bridesmaid, Misty and her sweet baby boy, Joaquin who just moved to Austin from Brooklyn. 

Later that day we hung out with the Canales'.  We love those two, who will soon be three!  We are so happy for them!
