Love from San Francisco

We were so excited to see our good friends, Josh and Liz last week. Josh was one of Neal's college roommates, but I claim him first because I was friends with him even in High School. Josh has been a huge part of some really fun times - dinners at Jester dorms, helping me study for biology tests, playing intramural sports with us, lots of nights out with one or both of us throughout college, roadtrips, and on and on and on. Neal and Josh continued to bond the year before Neal and I got married when they were both living back in Arlington - they had weekly nights watching football or drinking beer. The next year, Josh headed to St. Louis to med school, where he met Liz - they got married and then headed to San Francisco for their residency, and now we just hope that someday Texas will call them back! Until then, we are always thrilled to see them when we can.

This was actually the first time Josh had seen Meredith since she was little bitty (except from a far at their wedding) and of course the first time we got to introduce Jillian to "Uncle Yosh" (nickname courtesy of Neal, Mike and Josh's Swedish roommate their Junior year). Meredith was a little apprehensive of the visit at first, but Daddy finally got her to come out from behind his legs to take Josh on a tour of the house. It was quite in-depth starting with her books, her lamp, where you go potty, where you wash your hands, Jillian's room, and then making sure that he knew that "it is hot in there" while pointing out the hot water heater.

So sweet!

Meredith was in a silly, silly mood! We could not convince her to not put her hand in front of her mouth, but oh well - she is still super cute! :)
