Saying G'bye

Well, our friendly reunion came to an end last night. Dave and I ventured to another country as the sun was setting, kids in tow, and Mel squashed between them in the back of our car. (yes, we are currently looking at an 'upgrade' to accommodate the new Naus!!)
Waiting for us at an obscure gas station at a random exit was our dear dear dear Amy.
Thankfully Amy met us half way to her home so that we could spend time with her, so after some 200 km we finally saw her beautiful face and were able to spend a late dinner with her and mel and the kidlets! it was such a treat to spend some leisure time with these girls!! They are the kind of friends that even after 6 or more years, picking up where we left off is as easy as pie. (thankfully we have been able to see Amy since she lives much closer to us than dear Mel!!) The lovely Bob Evans restaurant was careful not to rush us out, (it DOES take a while to catch up on life) but eventually we did have to leave! and we parted ways. sadness.

thank you mel and amy for a wonderful time of fellowship!! :)

our sleepy kids on the way home. (okay , i know Julia doesn't look sleepy, but she was and not long after this picture was snoring away! ha)

Unfortunately i must go to make breakfast here..... and there is no mel to eat it today. :( but alas it was a lovely time together, and i now we amy get to do it again one day!! (in Germany this time!!)
