Lucky for us, one of my best friends from high school (and her sister!) decided to settle in the Denver/Boulder area, so we get to see them and their families when we're out there. This time, we got together for dinner,which was wonderful -- but also chaotic with our guys and their two little ones running around! (Actually, there would have been six little ones running around, but L's daughter had been sick, so she decided to come by herself to be on the safe side.) So, we did our catching up in little bits and pieces in between making sure the twins weren't eating/climbing on/destroying something they shouldn't. :)We hadn't met adorable little Lucy (age two) until this trip. She was fantastic with the boys. James had a half-finished bottle that he kept leaving around, and every time, Lucy would pick it up and bring it to him. So sweet! And later in the evening, she and Mattie were chasing each other around (I forget who was the chaser and who was the chasee), having a grand time.
Last time we saw Julian, I think he was probably about Mattie and James's age, with big chubby cheeks like James. Now he's a big boy, looking all grown up! He and T had just gotten back from a trip to Florida, so he was exhausted when we were there (poor kid!), and ended up going to bed early. It was so good to see our friends, but also really neat (and a bit surreal!) to see our children together. All those years ago, who would have imagined that!
P.S. The baby in red in the second picture is Mattie; he threw up in the car on the way over, so for a while he was wearing the always-classy combo of a borrowed shirt and his diaper. :)

I just saw this. Great pictures and post! It was such a crazy visit with all the kids running around, but such nice memories that you have captured. Thank you again for stopping with us. Yes, it was great to have our kids playing together. Hopefully this is the start of many more get-togethers.
