we had the recent pleasure of seeing our good friends of 22+ years, doug and val sheaffer and their lovely daughter, hadley.
the last time we had seen them, hadley and jack were babies (they were born a week apart).
they are in the military, and are relocating from texas to germany (as in europe!).
we had so much fun. and olivia and hadley bonded as well.
we'll miss you, and wouldn't it be great if we could come visit?
and have lunch in paris?
