This past weekend, we had an alumni soccer game at Milligan. Seven girls from my era came back to play together. We had the BEST time! One of the sweetest parts of the weekend was the bonding between our children. My great friend Salem, who (whom?) I played with all four years (AND whom (who?) I haven't seen in NINE years), brought her three daughters to stay at our house. It was absolutely incredible how my daughter and her daughters hit it off immediately - almost as if something from Salem and I's friendship from those formative years had been passed on to them. We agreed to get together more often, for their sake...and ours :) 
Lisa entertaining the girls
Tim, Salem's husband (and our friend too) - holding all four girls!
eating dinner on the porch
Adalyn (6), Lily, Miriam (4), and Lydia (2)
they LOVED the camera, unlike Lily... probably because it's pointed at her ALL the time!
Adalyn, Miriam, and Lydia gave Lily a bath! Lily asked them to and the parents agreed... and it ended up being the cutest thing ever.
We are so glad to have reunited with old friends and that Lily got to make some extra special new friends!

Brought tears to my eyes. Nine years was way too long even though it didn't seem like a day had gone by when I saw you. Life is too short to not spend time with people you love. What is a few hours in the car when you make memories like that? Loved every minute of our visit and can't wait to see you all again.
I agree with salem...tears and all.
aww - they exude sisyerhood in every sense from the photos - heck - they even LOOK like sisters! True friends can take 9 years and it's still strong! How happy - thanks for sharing
