Catching up with the Tillmans

One of the last things we got to do when we were in DC was to make a trip up to Harrisonburg, VA to visit with our friends Brian and Deborah Tillman, and their children Leah, Noah and Annabelle.

It was our first time meeting their newest addition, Annabelle and the first time we have seen them in about a year - so they got to meet Samantha as well.

I always love getting to see my dear friend Deborah, because we have been friends since the end of our Sophomore year at college. Since then, we have remained close despite the distance that has separate us since graduation.

However, since this our lives have changed dramatically, with us having kids. So, we decided on the kid friendliest place to meet up - a local Children's Museum. All the kids seemed to have a great time, and they were entertained enough so that we could get in some visit time too. :)

Leah and Noah cranking up some magic machine - your guess is as good as mine, at what it is. ;)

Deborah and I switched babies for awhile - Samantha felt like a ton in comparision to little Annabelle.

Annabelle is not too happy about trailing around after her brother and sister.

Samantha found a bunch of stuffed pigs to play with, which was cute until she tried to eat them -- everything goes in the mouth at this age!

Noah - a spitting image of his daddy.

Leah - a spitting image of her mama - they got one of each. We'll see who Annabelle will look like when she gets older.

We truly feel thankful that we got to see the Tillmans. We have missed them and they have been dear friends to us over the years. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we see them again.
