Oklahoma friends

We definitely had to stop and see some good friends while we were in Oklahoma.  We didn't get to see everyone we had hoped to, but we had a good visit, although short & sweet.  We spent one afternoon & evening with a couple of families (Angela wasn't there unfortunately).  We had spent quite a bit of time with them, through playgroup, library storytime, soccer, and church.  It was fun to see the kids together again - they had all grown so much.  We had pizza & ice cream and just watched the kids play.  Just felt like a normal day with friends, only we had to say good-bye again and the "see you later" comes without knowing when the "later" will be.  Too bad that life's journey and distance gets in the way of friends sometimes.  Luckily, distance can't truly separate good friends.  Only temporarily.

It was hilarious to watch Nathan & Garett play foosball against Alex & Jared.  Every time they scored, they acted like they had just won the world championship or something!  





We had a pretty silly photo shoot.  We originally were attempting to get a good picture of everyone sitting nicely on the couch.  We figured out that was nearly impossible, so it turned into just plain silliness.  

Look at the line-up!  What I can't believe is that Emalee is only a couple of months older than Jared.  She is either really tall or Jared is short (maybe both).  Anyway, so fun to see them all together.
