apples and a story (and a whole lot of pictures)

I'm back and I have new photos -lots of them! That's us at the apple orchard, all of us,  thanks to my friend Kim who took over the camera at just the right moment.  This is Kim and her family...

Once upon a time, Kim and I worked at a summer camp in Colorado.  I was Wilderness, she was Rez, so we didn't have a whole lot of interaction at camp and didn't keep in touch after. Fast forward to 2010, Quantico, the soccer fields, team Argentina and a nagging she-seems-so-familiar feeling...and what are the chances?! So here we are, twelve years and seven kids later, living on the same street, cheering on our soccer boys and becoming fast friends.  We had a great time Saturday at the apple orchard...

And Shawn's favorite...

I told you I had a lot of pictures.

And now the park is calling to us as the clouds are rolling in.  We're off to get some air while we can.  Here's one more, because it's a very rare thing to have not one but two pictures of our whole family to share...

{thanks, Kim, for a fun apple-filled day and for the great family portraits!}
