Besties

 I got to visit my best friend Lindzy in Iowa this past week! Boy was it fun!  We have so much fun together, just hanging out and our kids have fun together too!  Ela had her first day of 1st grade so we got to hear all about it. Addy and the boys can pass at triplets and little Drew Man was just along for the ride.  What a sweet and perfect baby!  We played a lot with Handy Manny tools, which Chase and Owen had to take to bed with them, went to the park, went to Menard's to play on their play equipment and had great meals.

I also got to catch up with my other good friend from college, Raneen.  Lindzy and Raneen are best friends from high school, I met Raneen the first day of college (she lived a few doors down from me) and met Lindzy through Raneen.  Lindzy and I joined the same sorority and we all were friends.  We had some crazy fun times together and still love to get together. Raneen has 3 kids, one of which is the same age as C&O&A.

 The kids on the last day-Owen, Addy, Ela and Chase

 Addy, Chase, Kate, Owen-all born within 12 weeks of each other.  The boys on July 1, Addy on August 10 and Kate on September 26th. 

I love this shot-it's like Addy and Owen have a secret they are laughing about.

Every time I leave I'm sad I forgot to get a picture of Lindzy and I.  What was I thinking?
