Visiting the Lenharts

Last week Steve, Bethy, and I went to New York and one great part of the trip was seeing our fun friends the Lenharts. God put us in each other's lives waaaaaay back during our teacher orientation in 2001. Sarah, Steve, and I began teaching in the Naperville schools together, and we are so thankful for their friendship, though we have been living apart for 6 1/2 years now. We had great fun hanging out together:

Rachel Lenhart (11 months) and Bethy (now 6 months) met for the first time. It is fun to think that in many ways they will "grow up together" as we continue our friendship in the years to come.

Chocolate pasta. Not all it's cracked up to be. Feeling like college students again!

Ahhh, the college days are behind us, as cheerios (the ever-handy toddler snack food) replaced money in our poker games.

Steve and Andrew through the years have played duets of all kinds. This time around they attempted a two-piano concerto on one piano. It was clever, and...interesting.

The guys also took a break and played with the girls for a while.

We also went to go see the Brooklyn Bridge together. A 45 degree day in January - perfect!
