Fun with Friends

We have been lucky enough to find some wonderful friends in the short time we've been in Wisconsin. The Tollstam's, Crystal, Trey, Geyer & Liam, I first met thru the MOM's Club and we have been inseparable since. They moved here last year from MI, so like us they are new to the area. Although there is an age difference Jackson and Geyer are the best of friends. The boys are always asking about each other and we always have an amazing time together whether as a family, with the kids or just us girls. We are so thankful to have met such a wonderful family. We love you guys! Geyer's second birthday was a few weeks ago and they celebrated with a party at the gym. Here are a few pics from the party:

Just having fun!

We've also been lucky enough to meet an amazing family who has been thru many of the same situations that we have been thru. The Montgomery's, Rose, David & Rob. I actually met Rose awhile back on a Hydrocephalus support group site. While Rob wasn't born premature he too was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus as an infant and unfortunately has had many problems and surgeries like Jackson has. Jackson and Rob are about 6 months apart in age and when they are together they are like two peas in a pod. It is truly funny to watch them together. I feel so blessed to have someone that I can talk to and that has been down the same path as we have. We've gotten together a few times just us and the kids and have also had a few family nights. Here are a few pics from our last family night out.
