Make new friends but keep the old...

One is silver and the other gold....I remember learning that song in Brownies and oh my how it is true!  I have been so lucky in my life to have so many wonderful friends from many stages.  Early childhood, college and beyond they are all such great friends and I can't imagine my life without them in it.  Two of those friends have been there as long as I can remember and one of them moved to Texas at the beginning of the year.  Funny how two girls from Chicago end up in Texas, never would have thought that in a million years!
Kristin, her husband and son moved to New Braunfels, Texas about 4.5 hours South of Dallas.  She had not been able to come up since Caleb was born and we finally found a time that would work.  She and her wonderful husband who so graciously watched their little boy Simon decided it would be a good idea to come when Jared was gone, during the week.  This was wonderful for me as it sometimes gets a little lonely around here during the week when Jared is gone.  Kristin came up on a Wednesday night and was able to stay until Saturday! 
We had a wonderful time playing with Caleb and enjoying each other's company.  We could not remember the last time we actually got to spend that much time together without anyone else really around.  It always proves my favorite point that no matter how much time passes with great friends it feels like no time has passed at all! 

We didn't get too many pictures but we did make some great food, something we have always enjoyed doing together that we learned from our mom's long ago who enjoy doing the same when they are together.
Here is the picture we just had to take of our seared tuna dinner with snap peas and rice noodles.  All Cooking Light inspired!
 Kristin and Caleb....
Had such a great time with you Kristin, love you and that you are closer to us now!  Yes, when you are a 15 hour drive someone living 4.5 hours seems like they live close by :) Can't wait to see you again and hopefully Abram and Simon too!
