3rd stop. . .

. . .Roanoke, VA! I can't believe it's been four years since we moved from here, but seeing old friends made it feel like we never left. Ms. M on the left and Mrs. D on the right (feel free to contact me concerning any nickname changes. . .it is way to late at night for me to be creative in any way. . .) are two of my best girl-friends. I so appreciate their friendship even though they live so far away.

Here's Ms. M doing what she does best. . .taking care of my baby! She was a God-send when Curious Z was little and we were dealing with Car-man's autism diagnosis. . .this was actually taken when we were packing to leave, so not quite as traumatic of a time, but still a great help. Sweet Pea woke up happy and well-rested!

Here is Mr. and Mrs. D, our gracious hosts. This is what I call my urban look (posed in front of a brick wall)!

Aren't they too cute!

I tried to get some family shots. . .

These are my pretending-to-be-a-photographer pictures. . .it was fun having a photo session, especially with these two precious boys. Aren't they gorgeous?

Thank you friends for such a wonderful visit! You are a blessing to us!
