Good Friends

We have had a few busy days this week and visited with several good friends. It is always nice to see people you enjoy and we were lucky enough to see several friends that live close by as well as a few who we see less frequently because they live farther away.

Eleanor has been talking non-stop about Baby Anna so it was nice to see her this week:



We also saw Grace and Nancy, but I didn't take any pictures while they were here so this is an old picture from a different visit:



In addition, our dear friends Linda and Alec came by to meet Henry and have dinner with us. I met Linda in an amazing and crazy way -- the parking lot of Zeno's motel in Rolla, Missouri -- and eventually I worked for her and then she introduced me to Vince. We have an interesting and important history! Eleanor really enjoyed playing with Linda while they were here and Henry didn't fuss too much, which means he must have enjoyed their visit as well:



And Leah, who I've been friends with forever, arrived yesterday for a short weekend visit. It was great to see her, her mom, and Maddie their dog. I didn't take any pictures yesterday but will take some today. In the meantime, here is an old one from about a year ago:
