Favorite People

Some of our very dearest friends on the planet are here visiting us from Iowa. We became friends when we were both at the University of Iowa and lived down the hall from each other in the same apartment complex. I knocked on their door to ask for some computer paper. Brandon was mortified, but my lack of social grace won us some great friend! We had just had our first baby and they were months away from having their first as well. So the story began and here we are getting ready to go to Disneyland with our collective 7 kids. Oh, the fun! One of my favorite things about being around these smart, kind, interesting, creative people (who also happen to be GREAT parents!) is that I get TONS of ideas from them about all kinds of random things. Scott is Mr. Techy of the Universe (here is his blog) and when he heard me complaining about not wanting to carry my big video camera around/the poor quality of video on my little purse camera, he told me about this little number. Where have I been?? And Betsy just solved my "what to put over the desk in our bedroom" dilemma by suggesting hand print art on canvas of my kids' hands. Brilliant! I love these people . . .

Last summer, but I'm sure we'll get some more great ones this weekend!
