The last few weeks we spent with some friends who have been absent from our lives for four long years, as they took advantage of a fantastic opportunity to live and work in Europe. When they departed they had one young child; this visit has been dominated by the demands of our new lives with four children between us. They have two beautiful girls to complement our two boys. While we enjoyed the everyday activities of playdates in the woods, at the pool, and in the backyard ,we also relished the return to "the cabin". We spent many days and night here in our earlier days as friends, and were happy to return to this little spot in the woods. The zipline and deck are new, but otherwise it's the same as always.
