The Holts

I'm still working on my posts about our trip to Dallas and one wonderful thing we got to do there was see our good friends the Holts. They moved to Dallas about a year ago and it was great to reconnect with them in an unexpected place. We met Dave and Jess about 5 years ago the summer we lived in DC. Mike and Dave interned together at NCIS and we all hit it off right away. Now they have 3 beautiful children and are expecting their 4th (same due date as me!) and we have 1 with 1 on the way. How life changes. The kids had a great time playing together and we had a lot of fun hanging out. Here are some pictures of the day. Somehow I didn't get any of me or Jess or their beautiful Sydney who is 5 now, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

Jay loved riding on their powerwheels truck as a passenger but he was a terrible driver. He and Bud are the same age so Bud took over the driving. Little Charlie is actually a very good driver too and she's not even 2! Jay's behind the curve ;)

Here's their adorable new puppy. He was SO cute!

The guys getting their football fix. About half of our conversations centered around the Cougars and the other half were about work (Mike and Dave work in similar fields). The girls got some good bonding time in though while the guys were doing their usual thing. These two are literally two peas in a pod!

We had a great time visiting. Hope it's not too long before we see you again!
