FABE 4 Reunion

Leaving Japan was bittersweet for us. On the one hand, we were happy to be heading back stateside. On the other hand, we were leaving behind some pretty fabulous friends, most especially the Francisicos, the Blews, and the Estoestas. We dubbed ourselves the FABE 4 and knew that even though we were parting ways, it wouldn't be forever. We were the kind of friends that would see each other again someday.

That someday was today. The stars aligned and we were able to have a mini reunion. Sadly, we were missing the awesome Blews, but they were there with us in spirit. Almost as sad is that we only had a few short hours together, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to see such wonderful friends.

We missed you so much, Julie! We stuck you in the sugar container because you are so sweet, and you were there in the midst of us the whole time.

We got to meet precious Mia today! Just holding this sweet angel brought on the baby cravings full force!



Grace's first friend, Jasmine. They were just itty-bitty newborns when they first met.

The boys- James, Al, and Mike.

Yahooo! We made the blog! James said that Jasmine was loving on Grace big time, petting her hair - and following her around! Cicely and Mike - thanks so much! Those few hours meant a lot to us! And Mike is getting soft. I know for a fact that he LOVES to match!
