In the picture below, we are holding a picture of the four of us that was taken our freshman year in College... I believe in the Fall of 1998. We all squealed when we realized we were spontaneoulsy standing in exactly the same positions. And then we all groaned when we remembered that the old photo shows each one of us carrying our "freshman fifteen". Ugh. So I would like to formally replace that photo with one of these two in our FORCE memory book. (Except that we don't really have one).
The evening of Daphne's birthday, Carole generously invited us all over for dinner and fun. We gathered with husbands and kids and acted like silly girls again for a little while. It's incredible to think that these girlfriends I skipped class with are now wives and mothers. I guess we're old, we just don't feel like it yet!Some of our sweet offspring playing together out back:
My friend Marcy went completely out of her way and came up from Austin for the night. She had been traveling tons and I am certain that they had lots to do, but they made time to come see us and I am so gratful! I can't come to Tejas and not see my Marcy Girl! Marcy and I both had daughters about 5 months apart back in 2004.. here they are now!
Daphne and Aubrey hit it off fabulously... they ran around taking care of little babies and putting on pet fashion shows with ALL of Baby Charlotte's stuffed animals and hair bows. Sorry for the mess, Carole! Prepare yourself for the disaster that is girly imaginative play! Daphne NEVER gets out just one thing. Everything has to be comprehensively integrated to include every single type of doll, dress up, accessory and stuffed animal. My house frequently looks like a Fancy Nancy Book Exploded inside.

Yum! (For those of you keeping a mental tally of Blue Bell consumption during our Texas trip, this is gallon number 3 in 5 days.)
We scooped Blue Bell into cones and sent the kids outside in an effort to protect Carole's house from further destruction.
That plan to keep the ice cream outside worked pretty well except for all the ice cream that ended up on the kids... Tori got a good amount on her sweater and you can see what happened to Amy's little Noah!
These two were born on the same day! And of course, as per usual, the Hunter giant genes persisted with Victoria. She towers over kids her age. Volleyball, here we come!
I had so much fun with you ladies! I wish we lived close enough for us to do that more than once a year. Thank you so much for the company, the food, and the years of friendship. I am a better woman today because I know y'all. (But I've still got a lot of work to do!)
