Les and Vale came to visit!

Caleb and I had 2 of the coolest people come and stay with us--that's right, Les and Vale came down from Seattle to play. Pictures don't do Vale justice and his personality is so sweet! He played very nicely with Caleb, who became his shadow. He babbled a lot more because Vale is a very good talker. And he wanted to stand more often because Vale walks and runs all over the place! And we often heard Vale say, "Va-o's turn" and then Caleb would holler or scream, as they learned to share. Les and I laughed as we watched our darling boys play together. We laughed harder as we reminisced about college days. We stayed up too late talking and we ate too much--and as we waved goodbye with tired eyes and wound up babies in tow, it was clear that this is what life is all about. True, dear friends are very rare and I feel blessed to have a friend like Les in my life. Not many gals would drive 4 hours down and 4 hours back with a 2 year old to visit a friend. Thanks Les, and we'll be up to see you soon!
