Our dearest friends Ryan and Emily (who also happens to be my cousin) came to visit us with their two beautiful boys. We had such an amazing time with just the perfect amount of everything. We played tons of games, we went on lots of fun outings, we talked, and talked and talked, slept very little, had delicious food and a different delectable dessert every night. We went to Virginia Beach twice, the botanical gardens, Tim's art studio, out to eat, Tim's tissue preservation lab, Raleigh to see my parents, and Winston-Salem to see Tim's parents. Everyone stayed healthy, everyone got along. James and Jonas had an amazingly fun time together and I was just so impressed with how well they treated each other.
I just can't emphasize what a fabulous time I personally had. I love having such good friends. I love that we all talk so well together. I love what amazing people Emily and Ryan are. They are each individually so generous and kind. I count myself very, very lucky to have such a great friend in my husband, to have such delightful children, and to have friends like Ryan and Emily.

I have to be honest and say that I am incredibly jealous that you got them for a visit... but I'm SO glad that you had such an amazing time with them! I know visits from good friends and family boost my spirits more than almost anything right now!
It's nice that you are all so close. It's hard to find a couple that you both really click with. And yours just happens to be family as well!
Dearest?! Dearest?!?! Oh, I see how it is... and the Ashby's are just chopped liver, is that it? Okay they did make the trip all the way out there... granted, what can we do to claim the top spot once again?
Looks awesome!! I am so glad they were able to come out with poor Jonas and the hospitalization!
well said, Buffy.
That looks so fun!!
Sounds like a blast! I wish I could come hang out at the beach with you guys. I could use some sun. :D
Looks like a good time was had by all - thanks for all the pictures. Hey Buffy, could you add my gmail address to your invited list, so I don't have to sign on as James to view your blog? (it's charityannewest@gmail.com) Thanks!
