Amy, Rick and the kids visit 2009

This is AMY,and I love her!!! For those of you who have followed for quite some time I am sure you remember her. For those of you who are fairly new to our family Amy is a BEST FRIEND to me and my sister Kerry. Amy is always the same, she always has your best interest at heart, she is oh so true to friendship, she loves real hard, and again she never wavers in love or friendship... she is always the same , constant, faithful FRIEND that she was the first time we met, and for her I am so thankful to God. Her and Rick and the 3 kids, Garett, Kyndall and Zane had to move away a while back for his job and once a year we get to be together and we all three , well all of our family look forward to this each year. We catch up and oh and ah over how our kids have changed. Although we text or talk to each other weekly , it is just not the same as really being together. I can't wait for the day when they move back home. I can't wait for the day when Franceska is home because that will also mean that Amy will be here. I know there are tons of pictures here 29 to be exact, but I just want to share it all with you!!! I hope all of you enjoy our visit as much as we did!!! (CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE IT BETTER)
