Visiting friends in Orlando

Last weekend we visited our friends from Canada in Orlando! It was so much fun to see John & Wendy and their 3 kids again. It had been 4 years since we saw each other. I was 8 months pregnant with Julianna. Time is a funny thing, especially with friends. It dissolves, immediately we were catching each other up on different things, and carrying on where we left off 4 years ago. It didn't take long...20 minutes for Julianna and Caleb to be friends. I hope she is a little more discerning later in life!:)

I really think John set Cor up for this!
Cor knows I'm not a fan of his silliness, but now I humor him and take his picture!

nothing better than water

looks like Caleb he's stirring the pot, and wondering where his little girlfriend went

our 2 families
Lauren(16), Caleb (4) Julianna (3) Asher(7)
Arianna (9) and Karissa (13)

someone commented that our children were really well behaved in the restaurant
I thanked Cor for "showing me proud"!

my precious, precious kids
the time is ticking, their getting so big


OTHER FUN:

Julianna and Gracie at Gracie's 4th birthday

sisters,
the older Arianna gets the more 'mothering' she is to Julianna
it's really quite a sweet thing to see

at a great park in St. Augustine, it's surrounded by great oak trees which is great in the summer but very cold in the winter...I was very, very cold

Uncle Cor with the triplets
twin nephews and a niece

Loved seeing all the pictures and catching up with you all! The resemblance between Cor and Jon ( and more of their siblings!) was not gotten from their Mom!
