Old Friends New Again


Last weekend we clashed old with new and it was so much fun. We were able to host 2 families we first met from when we were all stationed in England. Back then we were all newly married, no kids (at the beginning), travelling, carefree couples living the Air Force life at RAF Mildenhall England. We all added one (or 2) kids to our families while we were there. However, in the fall of 2003, we all started going our separate ways, moving on to our next assignment. Over the past 5 years, we have seen each other once or twice, but never all of us together in one place. So, this Saturday, we all gathered here in Atlanta (one family was driving through on their way to Disney World and the other family is currently living in Montgomery, AL so they came up). Our small 3 couple friendship had grown with now 10 kids, 8 and under (with one on the way...not us)between all of us. It was AWESOME!!!! We all had fun, the kids got along great and Duke never had more attention (ok, maybe Keri's grandma gives him more). It was a delight getting together with 2 other Christian families with similar outlooks on life even though all of us are travelling in very different directions. One couple are excellent photographers...and the pictures they took were really good...here are a few...
