Our welcome home

Last week some of our friends here in Az hosted a 'Welcome home' party for us...It was a great chance to reconnect--for us and for the kids. We were even able to surprise Twinkle with a 'happy birthday' serenade and cake--complete with candles to blow out!

The E's hosted and it was such an enjoyable evening to hang with friends, let the kids swim and tell them all about our time back east. (notice how people always say 'back east' and 'out west'..why is that? does anyone ever say 'out east and back west'??? I don't think so...try to say it yourself and you'll hear how ridiculous it sounds...)

anyway... it was a fun night...enjoy the pictures while i go do some very scientific internet research on the origins of 'back east' and out west. I'll report back when i've got it all figured out--or when i am tired of searching.:)
