Back to Reality

We returned home from our vacation yesterday afternoon. While we had an amazing time away, and thoroughly enjoyed everything, we were very happy to be home. I think all in all, I have 234 pictures from vacation. Don't panic!! I'm not going to put them all on here. I'm going to try to post a couple in the next few days of the hi-lites. I'll try not to subject you to endless pictures of my beautiful babies on the beach. ha ha

One thing we got to do while gone was see two different sets of VERY good friends of ours. The first was Melanie and 2 of her kids. We met in Wytheville, VA (which is very beautiful) for lunch. It was so good to see her again, and can't wait for next time when (hopefully) Matthew will be home from Iraq.


Savannah, Emily and Emma. Emily and Emma are like their mommies in that they can pick up exactly where they left off....several months later.


This was our first time meeting Noah. He is SUCH a good baby....(I can't believe you have a boy) :)


Here is our group...minus Callie.

On the way home we saw Aaron and Darla Spence and their 2 kids (+ one in Mommy's belly). We haven't seen Aaron in a long time as he has been faithfully serving our country in Korea, and then Iraq. It was fun to hang out with them in Nashville, TN.


Emily and Mason were adorable!!! They "had to hold hands" in the mall. Their daddy's rolled their eyes, sighed, and thought about dreaded days to come.


After a brief warming up period, Savannah and Maggie had SO much fun together.


Little Maggie is simply adorable.

The Spence family together again!

When they said good-bye, you'd have thought they were long lost loves.
