The Berlands Come To Town

Our first house guests were our favorite Iowans, the Berlands.  It has been two years since their last visit and we couldn’t wait for them to arrive.  They are the kind of friends that can come stay with you for a week and you love every minute of it.  Yep, the very rare kind.  I am not sure who was more excited: the kids to have constant playmates or James to have a constant playmate.  Paul is his soul buddy and they spent as much time as they could out in that marsh.    We shared a fun evening with the Barbots as well.   These 4 pitiful pictures are a reminder to me that I have gotten very slack in pulling out the camera.  Looks like a New Year’s resolution shaping up.
