Vera, Ben and Elle

One of the best parts about visiting my parents last weekend was that we got a chance to see our friends Heather and Keith and their family. They've got three kids-- Vera is three, and the twins, Ben and Elle are just a couple weeks older than Noah. They live north of Boston, but drove down to Connecticut for the weekend while we were there. Heather and I have known each other since we were 12 years old, and it's so nice having children that are the same age.

Here is little Elle. Notice those feet-- those are Noah's as he climbs out of the pool... he kept climbing in and out the whole time it was set up.

Here's Noah with his buddy, Ben.

And here he is weith Vera.

Ben looks like such a little tough guy here.

Clearly they were in a hurry to get outside to the pool

Ben wanted to try Noah's trick of climbing in and out.
He's a very happy boy.
Here we go again!

Noah was having such a good time with his friends that he fell over laughing.

Elle's really making a face here.

There's the giggler.
