Well, hello there!

After Jeremy's brother departed on Wednesday, the kids & I had church Wednesday night. These nights are really tough because we typically do not get home until close to 9:00. True, Ella Grace doesn't have to be at school until after 8 and Major not until 9, it is very hard on my babies.

BUT, we had company to look forward to on Thursday evening!

Here's the story:
Jeremy went to school at Cumberland University in Lebanon, TN. During one of his summers there he lived with his biology professor and his family (Jeff, Dianna & Grant). Grant was just a small guy when Jeremy was there. They are such a sweet, sweet family! I suppose the last time we saw them was Ella Grace's first Christmas - December 2006. The three of us visited them in Tennessee and saw the Christmas lights at the Opryland Hotel (which were so neat!).

Anyway, we were finally able to introduce them to our Major last week! ha! The kids fell in love with Grant. They ran all over the place - it was really funny!

We were so excited to see them. I could not believe how tall Grant was...not sure what I was expecting after not seeing him for 4 1/2 years.

So glad they came! Hopefully our next visits will be a little closer together.

Isn't it great to have good friends?!
