This weekend we had some dear friends come visit us! Ben and Leah, and their two children, Elisha and Genevieve have been living in Scotland for the past 2 years while Ben earned his PhD. Leah and the kids tagged along for life in another culture, and I think they got it! The kids have picked up using Scottish words and inflections, its adorable! Leah is charming and she was a faithful blogger while they were away, writing down their adventures and she is also multi-talented and started getting into photography! And I say that lightly, because her pictures are amazing!

We have known the Walls for almost 10 years! We met them back in our youth group days, and we have been so blessed by their friendship! They were such an influential part of our teen to adult years, spending time with us and pouring into our lives when it is most malleable. We were lucky enough to have premarital counseling with them, and Ben officiated our wedding! Since then, we've been in small groups, taken vacations, eaten a lot of lilly's, played bored games, and grown together. We really love these people, their family, generosity and love. It had been a long 2 years with them in another country, glad they're stateside now :)

Thankful for this girl!

She looks like a who!
