Pals

So far, this is the only picture I have of our new friends, Chris & Jessica. Jess and I met at storytime by happenstance, since Iris normally is in preschool during that time. Anyway, about two weeks later we were over at their house for tree planting and dinner. Since then, we've gotten together at least once a week (almost). 
We have been really grateful for their friendship. They have a wealth of knowledge about all things farming/gardening/nature and they are incredible foodies/chefs!! They're really fascinating people (much cooler than us). Chris taught Jim how to butcher rabbits and Jim's worked on Chris' hurt shoulder.

 The BEST thing about this friendship is that they have a sweet little girl to go with our sweet little boy.
 They've become very good friends in a few short months. Each of them asks for the other almost daily. Iris points to the seats at her table and names our names for each spot, since we have our usually seats.
 Ian asks for "Aras" and "Cuckeye" (their dog, Buckeye) often.
 Today we played with Iris while Jessica had an appointment. They have a great outdoor play area!

 They even ate cake!! Iris' birthday just passed, but we are celebrating on Sunday!
 And did the slack line.
They are so cool.
And super sweet.

New friends are great!! We look forward to more times together.
