A few weeks ago we had some very special guests. They drove all the way from Wisconsin to Connecticut to see us! We went to college with Stephen, and we had never met his wife Nicki, but we had talked through email and our alumni website many, many times. I knew I would love Nicki before they even arrived and the moment they stepped out of their car we started talking and right away we hit it off!
They have four boys - Sawyer (H's age), Soren (J's age), Rece (20 mos.) and Roen (7 weeks). The girls were not too excited about 4 boys coming to stay, but got along great with the boys once they arrived! They had such a blast together and had so many similarities in their personalities.
I took so many great photos, but I'll just try to share a few that summarize the 3 wonderful days we had together ...
This is their beautiful family ... on the docks, we went there after the Aquarium and lunch at a fabulous seafood place ...
Here is Nicki and I at the Aquarium ... 
The four older kids on the docks ... {Sawyer, H, J, Soren}
I got to hold sweet baby Roen!! He was such a cutie and such a good baby! This was the day we spent at the beach ...
At the beach ... J, Rece and Soren ... 
Sawyer had fun catching creatures like crabs!!
The men went out fishing on Bob's Dad's boat ... and they had fun catching lots of fish ... {this is Stephen}
I got some cute photos of the older kids together ...
And we even got a great group shot ...
The kids had fun swimming in the pool ...
And playing baseball in the yard with Stephen ...
Catching bugs and frogs works well for both girls and boys!
And Bob taught the boys some golf ... 
What an awesome time we had! I was so sad to see them go. I have no idea when we will see one another again, but we really enjoyed every minute of our visit. Nicki and Stephen, thanks for driving so far to come see us - we miss you!
