Our Friends in Houston

Last week we had some unexpected time off, so we jumped in the car and headed off to Houston. Our friends, Guy, Nan and Aspen (just one month younger than Canaan) moved there last May and we have missed them! We also felt Canaan should see his betrothed, Aspen Belle, once more before we left the country. In Houston, the kids had a great time playing together and butting heads while we parents enjoyed each others company, gazing at our beautiful babies together, exchanging funny kid stories, etc. Aspen and Canaan didn’t always know what to think about the “other baby” in the same house as they were in! I think both are used to being the very center of attention. Overall it was a wonderful trip. We will miss you Guy Nan, and Aspen!

Aspen Belle

Canaan has several friends. One of these is the beautiful Aspen Belle (Guy and Nancy's little girl). Aspen is almost exactly a month younger than Canaan. They were pledged to each other before birth. :) Aspen and her family just moved to Houston, so while we are sad about them leaving, we are also excited about the new opportunities that await them there.

Here are some great pictures of Canaan and Aspen. The first is when Aspen was first born. The next is of them at the end of May, right before she left. I just love the third. Canaan is absolutely centered on his toy, and poor little Aspen is getting none of his attention, if he can help it.
