Columbus Day

Not really Columbus Day and not really THAT Columbus, but more like Columbus, Ohio weekend... Ha!

Our good friends John & Rachel had us down to visit and to celebrate their son Eli's 1st birthday! We were thrilled to come and visit, as we always enjoy visiting them along with the rest of their VERY LARGE family. John and Todd roomed together in college and whenever they get back together it's like the good ol' days return. I do wish we lived close by, but visiting them is like vacation. It always seems to be nice weather when we go and there is always stuff going on so we never get bored! Not that we would ever allow ourselves to get bored, but it's like a mini-vacation.

Last time we saw Eli, he was only 4 months and now he's so big. He's almost walking and he's very vocal. He's super smiley and just a joy to be around. We also got to see our friends Luke & Bethany and their precious baby Claire, who was born a whole month early. She reminded me of how small my niece Isabella was when she was born. They weighed the same amount and both were super tiny. But just so cute and sweet. We also saw our friends Jeremy and Lydia, who Todd and I also went to college with. It was a great time and such a wonderful weekend. I had the privilege of taking four Costello kids sessions. All of which were just adorable.

It was a great time! It was also refreshing to know that no matter how far away we live to some of our good friends, that we still love them so dearly and we'll always be there for each other. To celebrate and share in the wonderful lives moments that will be cherished for a lifetime! As sappy as that sounds, it's so true!

Happy Birthday Eli & Max!

Thank you to the whole Costello family who made us feel like part of the bunch.

I'm including just a "sneak peak" of all four of the babies... and also the whole bunch who we went to visit!
