A Visit from the Vlachs!

We were SO excited to have our great friend Megan and her 2 kids (Madeline, 3 and Charlie, 15 months) come to visit us a couple weekends ago! They were back in town for a whirlwind trip to spend time with friends and family that they haven't seen as often since moving to Nashville. We squeezed a lot of fun into our 24-hour visit. We spent some time at our neighborhood playground and stopped by our friend Mandy's house for a playdate with her 2 boys (6 kids under 3 was pretty comical - but they kept each other busy!). I love this picture of the 2 girls - they look like a couple of teens sharing some good gossip or checking out a cute boy. Ha!
The boys had their share of fun too. They are so busy that I never actually got a photo of the two of them together! We played in the backyard, on the swing and in the sand table. The boys toddled around the house looking for trouble, trying to mess with the plans of their big sisters. At one point, we found the girls trying out Cassidy's new big girl bed - perfect for jumping! Meg and I also enjoyed a dinner out with a glass of wine or two, and we were sad to have to say goodbye the next morning. But luckily we have these blogs to check out each week as a way to keep up with each other! If you haven't yet checked out Meg's fantastic blog, click from my list onto "The Vlach-Tastic Four" and give it a read. She's a really gifted writer - so much so that at our dinner out, my other friend Meg (who joined us for dinner, it was so fun!) and I were brainstorming all the different ways that Meg could turn her natural writing skills into a cool new profession. The options are endless! Anyway, we're so thankful to the Vlachs for coming all this way to visit and we hope the rest of their trip is going wonderfully!
