Hannah, her son (Alex-almost 11) and daughter (Reagan-almost 4) drove from Clemmons, NC (about 2 hours west of us) to spend the day at our house. Ian was off from school because it was a Teacher Workday, so the six of us had a great time. I think it has been over 3 years before we last saw each other and we can't believe how hard it has been to get together! Our schedules are just so crazy. Hannah and I have known each other since I think 8 or 9 years old. We grew up in neighboring towns and we were on the same swim teams, Central Vermont Wavemakers and the Valley Swim Team. We were best of friends growing up and always managed to reconnect over the last ten years as I traveled the country and Hannah touring the east coast! How we both landed ourselves in North Carolina is beyond me. Anyway, we pretty much vowed that our schedules will not stop us from NOT getting our families together more often. We are planning to meet 1/2 way every few months! We had so much to talk about that we didn't even know where to start!!! It was funny! We just laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed!!!
It was so cute to see Ian with Alex. Ian thought he was a big shot that he was able to "hang out" with a 5th grader!!! It took about 1 hour or so for Reagan and Gavin to play together. But, they decided to "go camping" in the living room, then play with playdough, chase each other, etc.
