In the beginning of January (I know, I know, this post is VERY overdue!) Noah and Elizabeth came up from Kansas. Although they had been planning the visit for over a month and a half, I didn't know about it until they got here! Needless to say, I was absolutely SHOCKED and THRILLED to pieces!! We had such a fun visit, and it went by much too fast (as usual).
Here are some snapshots (courtesy of Elizabeth's fantastic camera!) from the visit.

Jake's hideaway; in the cupboard with his bottle!
This past summer Noah spent about 2 months in China. Since we have a lot of interest in China ourselves, we were very interested in hearing all about his trip.
The enthralled audience!
Watching closely . . . .
Listening attentively.
The day before they left us six oldest went to Pizza Hut for lunch, and got a couple pictures.
A goofy picture (of course!).
Great friends!
Thank you both SO much for coming! We all had a wonderful time, and hopefully it isn't quite as long before we can see you again!!
We love you guys!

Yeah-- good times!! But it makes me miss you guys horribly!!
The basketball game was a blast to watch-- and I guess it helped that the team we were rooting for won. :) Are the boys done with their games now?? How'd they finish the season?
And Ali, I thought Noah and the boys were the 'special friends'!! :)
Seriously though, I'm grateful for your precious friendship!! It's amazing to me how one little letter started all of this----wow!! Noah and I are definitely coming back sometime.........maybe we'll tell you ahead of time. :)
Tell everyone hi for us!
Love Ya!!
