good times with old friends!

our dear friends mike, veronica and sean (and jake) came to see us! the night we moved mike, "rockina" and sean stayed to help 'till the bitter end. as they were leaving it hit me that we were really going. i was so sad! veronica said they were going to come visit us in oregon and that made it a lot easier to say goodbye that night. afterwards i wondered if it would be too good to be true, but true to their word and much to our delight, they came for a visit in july! it was fabulous!!! we had such a fun time catching up and letting our kiddos hang out! thanks rueckerts for the great visit! sorry it was such a long drive!
brookie, sean and cole at their "party" - they were at our house between sean's and coleman's birthdays -why not have some candles and cupcakes? they seemed to think that was good times.

two good buddies havin' a good time in the back yard in their pjs. :)

two other good buddies kickin' it in the back yard with the brookie.

don't forget dad! - he's a good pirate too - he's always reminding coleman of what pirates say. :)

Michelle, I love seeing all of your pictures and all of the fun "out-doorsy" things you get to do in Oregon. It really is a very beautiful place. I can't believe how alike Brookie and Cole are looking. I bet people think they're twins, huh? Too cute!! Miss you TONS!
