New Friends

We've had a run on babies among our friends lately.

- Mark and Naomi welcomed their first, Clara Kay, in February.

- Jeff and Kira introduced Maeve Emmeline in early April.

- Later that month, Kevin and Alison presented Emmett Joseph.

- Jon, Carmela, and Madison followed shortly behind, with Gabriella Giovanna (their second), in May.

Perhaps even more impressive is that three of these four little ones were all in one house just two weeks after little Gabby was born. Alison brought Emmett from Minneapolis and Jeff and Kira hosted a barbecue in his honor. (Face it, Alison, you're second string at this point.)

We were glad to be there among a slough of familiar faces and their kids to welcome the next generation of these good friends; this was also the first time that Calvin had met any of them.

Sadly, we never had a photo shoot with all of these little ones, but did manage to steal a shot of Calvin and Maeve the next morning.

These are happy days.
