A Visit With Friends

  At the end of April, we made our way to the Kulp Manor in Charlotte for a visit. I attempted one solo in September with the girls, but it was cut short by a fever. It's hard to believe it's taken us 7 months to reschedule, but it was worth the wait. We stayed all weekend, and Ryan was able to join us. Mary and I went for a run on Saturday morning, we let the girls run around and be giggly and silly, Ryan and Dave made some beer, and we ended up letting the kids run around in the sprinkler. It was a hot weekend! It's so fun to watch the girls love spending time together - there were days not too long ago that Kate and Celia didn't get along very well! And now they claim each other "best friends in the whole world". It was fun to meet Dave and Mary's friends at Uptown, too, and get to see Dave at work and them in context of their community. I love that they live close enough that we get to peek into what their lives are like now, almost 10 years after college and 7 years of marriage and 3 kids! Love you, Kulps!



Kate, Celia, Bennett and Nancy


Bennett and Nancy, partners in crime.



We all, including Bennett and Celia, have a hard time remembering that Nancy is not a baby anymore, she's a big girl. The big girls kept attempting to pick Nancy up....if you've ever picked her up, you know a 5 year old would have a really hard time!


Nancy ready for the road trip.
