The Girls Are in Town

This past weekend, my sisters came to visit. But not without much bullying/guilt inducing. :-) Our old across-the-street neighbor, Lisa lives about an hour and a half away in New Hampshire. So on Saturday we had a mini reunion of all of the "sisters". Lisa hadn't seen Tammy or Stephanie basically since I got married 15 years ago. It was a fun day of talking and eating. I really haven't stopped smiling since.

All of us approximately 30 years later : ) ↓

Me, Tammy, Stephanie, and Lisa

We all went to Rachel's soccer game and cheered her on. ↓

If you look closely, you can our reflection in the glass cheering for Rachel ↓

There's an arcade at the soccer center, and Ben and Ethan like to run in there and "play" the games. ↓

David worked a long time to get this picture of Steph. She was more elusive than Greta Garbo ↓

After Lisa went home, Tammy realized she didn't have any black tights for church the next day. We found a Wal-Mart that was still open. When looking for the tights, Tammy and Steph came across this pair of shoes. A bet was quickly made that Tammy should wear them to church. After seeing the shoes and hearing the terms of the bet, Rachel told Tammy, "You should have asked for more." :-)

For those who can't see, while the leopard print on platic is quite lovely. It really sets off the black and spoteed green camouflage of the shoe! Also, you couldn't get too close to a heat source, or else they would have melted. (For those who want to know, Tammy did win the bet and cashed in. Not only did she win $5, but she got the shoes)
