old friends

Brad and Mandy, our old friends that graduated last year, were so nice to make a visit to Lawrence before we moved. Jack was SO excited for Jane to come! I told him she was coming and he said, "Mom, she's really coming?" They haven't seen each other since October, but Jack still talks about Jane all the time and has been waiting for the day when he could see her again. When we pulled up to the park Jack and Jane started running towards each other and started playing like old friends right off the bat.

The Serafines planned a little lunch get together with us and the whitings at South Park. We had a great time catching up!
Then after lunch the boys went golfing (or at least we thought they did) and the girls and the kids went on a stroll down Mass street. Charlie sat with Annie in her stroller, it was so cute how happy Annie got when she realized she was sitting by Charlie!
I pushed around Jack and Jane. Do you see how close they are sitting by each other? They sat like that for a good couple of hours without any fighting. I don't think Jack has ever been that close to another kid without him being rotten and making the other kid cry. He must really like Jane.

We visited the toy store.

We were quite the scene again with all of our strollers. Some guy even stopped and snapped a picture of us. (It probably didn't help that people probably thought that Jane and Jack were mine and Charlie and Annie were Mandy's. That would be crazy.)

Then we went and met Brad and Luke for dinner at Papa Kenos. Jane and Jack had fun running around and dancing outside. Before Mandy and I got there the boys said that Jane and Jack had a little kissing session and made quite the scene in Papa Kenos. When I asked Jack if he kissed Jane he said ya and everyone laughed.

We had to hurry and say goodbye and snap a picture because the rain started to really come down. We really miss living by them and we were so glad they were able to come visit us before we leave Lawrence. I just keep crossing my fingers that one day we will live by each other again!
