Friends

Last weekend we spent both Saturday and Sunday with friends. On Saturday, we drove to Short Pump to visit with Chris, Connie & Owen. Chris works at the University of Richmond library and has been a really good friend to both Keith and me for quite a few years. He was supposed to be a groomsman in our wedding, but Owen had other plans and decided to make his grand entrance into this world just two days before our wedding. We don't get to see them often enough and it was great to see them and catch up. We had a yummy lunch at The Baker's Crust at Short Pump Mall and had great conversation and many laughs.

Here is a picture of Owen & Jacob

We are keeping Chris, Connie and Owen in our thoughts and prayers as they will be traveling to South America in October. Connie has MS and will be undergoing stem cell treatment in the hopes that she will be able to get a better handle on this disease. They will be there for a month and we are very hopeful that these treatments will help Connie regain her strength and allow her to enjoy life to the fullest!

On Sunday, we went to visit John, Erin, Lizzie & Alex for brunch at their house in Charlottesville. Erin is a co-worker of Keith's and her son, Alex, was born one week before Jacob. It was such a wonderful visit and we were able to see how the boys "stacked up" against each other. It was also great to reminisce about the first time we visited them in the Spring of 2008 - both Erin and I were having trouble conceiving at the time. We had talked about our issues and disappointments and now, here we are with 3 month old babies, who were born just 7 days apart!

The boys weren't really sure what was going on

Jacob had a ball playing on the activity mat with Lizzie, who is almost 5. She was talking to him and playing with him and he was smiling and laughing. She is such a great big sister! I told her it was too bad that she wasn't old enough to babysit. :)
