Old Friends Are The Best!

As a bonus to our weekend trip home, I got to see one of my best friends and her kids! Amy and I have known each other since grade-school basketball camp and College -for- Kids at Knox College. We were practically inseparable through high school, were bridesmaids in each others weddings. She the kind of friend who could write a book about you, but won't because she knows to much. We can go months without talking on the phone, pick right back up where we left off, and chat for hours! Thank goodness for email, so those marathon conversations only happen occassionally. (Funny that in high school we tried to dress alike, and now that we're grown up we still dress alike. Notice we both decided to wear grey sweaters.)
In a strange twist of fate, Amy lives about 4 blocks from Craig's brother and sister-in-law! So before we went to Payton's birthday party, Alex and I paid a visit to Amy, Brandon, Camille and Layton. It was great having this kids play and I hope they make good on their plan to come up here for a game at Miller Park this summer!

Don't the kids look just a little too comfortable bellied up to the bar? My excuse is every house in Milwaukee has a bar in the basement!

Old friends are definitely the best !!!

So funny that you both chose to wear grey sweaters . You also both look a little bit alike as well... you could be sisters. :-)

Love the photo of the kids bellying up to the bar :-)
