I miss those round, baby faces. In this photo, Damon is around 2 and Elijah looks to be about 8 months.
The last time Elise and Damon got to hang out with each other, they came over for a swim in our pool.

This is my absolute favorite of Damon. You just can not take a bad picture of this kid - seriously! He should famous, he is so photogenic and cute.
Michelle is so lovely and we adore her sweet new baby, Brixton. She is such a true, dear friend... always generous and thoughtful. Once when were all home sick from church with something, she stopped by with a plateful of delicious brownies and a card addressed to "Sweet, Sickly Aunas." It made us smile! She was always more than willing to watch my kids when I had an appointment or errands to run. Once she drove me to the temple twice when it was raining because I had forgotten my reccomend!
Michelle always makes laugh, she says things I wish I could say with tact and humor. She's is out-going and warm, and a best friend to so many people! I'm grateful for her and how she kept me sane while we were neighbors. I am so grateful that I could confide in Michelle all about the challenges I had with my kids, the joy I found in their development, and that we could encourage each other in our goals. I'm so grateful for the great memories of going to the Olive Garden, parks, pools, picnics and watching fun shows on my laptop. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends!

wow! thanks for making me cry! really Jackie...now my post about you guys seems so lame! I had a million more things to say about you - and probably had a screaming baby or something, but I really feel like I didn't do you justice. You are one of the most amazing people I know. Truly. Thank you for that beautiful post. You write so eloquently, and as I have told you before..I really feel like you were a blessing sent to live next to me, to let me vent to, cry to, laugh with, play with, go running with, and watch the Bachelor with! I love thinking about all of our outings to the malls, parks, restaurants, or the good times just sitting on our couches watching our children write on walls, and make a mess! You have done so many amazingly sweet things for me and my family...I will never be able to repay you. I wish I could. Just know that I love you, miss you, and wish you were still living across my parking lot. I just realized - did we ever ever ever get a picture of the two of us together? lame! love you girl
