Our Time with the Bjorks

My best friend, Lindzy, just moved back to Iowa from Virginia.  She and I went to college at ISU together and grad school together.  She moved to the Cities at the same time I did and we remained close.  When she moved it was hard to not have her around.  Now that she's back in the region I'm so happy again.  I took the boys for a visit to Des Moines.  We played and played with Addyson and Ela.  I saw 2 other college friends, Katie and her 2 children and Raneen and her two children.  It was fun to connect and play and see how our lives have changed so much since college!  

The kids were sitting together the first morning we got there.  I had to get a picture, turns out it was the only time I could get them together!

The 3 little kids each claimed a pair of Addy's sunglasses, Owen-green, Chase-light pink, Addy-hot pink.  They even wore them to the mall.

Chase in his shades, who I think looks like Bono.

We celebrated the boys' birthday and Addy's birthday, which is August 10th.  The kids (and Lindzy and I) had cupcakes.

Thanks for the wonderful time Bjorks!  We miss you!
