A visit from friends

 The last time we saw these dear friends was just before they left for Germany for a two year stint.  Much has happened in both of our families since then, including the birth of a baby for each family.  It was so so good to have time to catch up - even though we stayed up much too late each night doing so.  The kids had a blast together, dividing up firmly along gender lines despite age differences.  Sweet times.

Just look at this little bundle of cuteness!  John Martin, 7 months.  As he does with every other child 2 years old and younger, Aidan called John "JoJo" and therefore initiated him as a true friend.

 A rare Miller family picture

Seriously.  How can you not squeeze this kid?  Among the two families, there are nine children.  When one of them (can't remember which) was about this age, Tim declared that she (or he?) was living a dangerous life because we all just wanted to take a bite out of her.  I think the same is true for little Johnny.
