While we were in Wichita last weekend, we had the pleasure of spending our Saturday evening with our friends Julie and Jerry. Bryan and Julie were good friends in high school, and it’s always a treat when our Wichita visits include some time with them. Julie and Jerry have two boys. Grayson just turned five (so he’s a few months older than Andrew) and Carter just turned one (so he’s about a year younger than Sylvie).
The evening of our visit was warm and spring-ish, so we spent a lot of time outdoors. I took, well, a lot of pictures of Grayson and Carter. All of them can be seen (and downloaded if anyone’s interested) in the gallery. My favorites are below.
While Andrew didn’t remember Grayson from our visit last year, they played so sweetly together. After spending a few hours together, Andrew seemed to add Grayson to his internal “best buds” list.
There’s baby Carter with his mama.

Grayson has a John Deere Gator. They drove it all around the cul-du-sac. Andrew took a turn driving and did really well. Sylvia was really interested in taking a ride, but then when the time came, she had second thoughts:) It’s a very big truck!
Carter was often walking with his hands up in the air. Such a cute baby move!
What a little doll.
Look at those eye lashes!?! Grayson has always had cheek-kissing lashes.

Grayson is riding his bike without training wheels, and boy, does he fly!
Andrew and Grayson had a lot of fun kicking the ball around the yard. Well, they mostly had a lot of fun. Grayson is a bit more skilled in the art of dribbling a soccer ball. Andrew got a lot of practice chasing him. Then they’d roll down the hill together.
Dad (and Sylvia) get into the action.
Julie and Jerry, it was such fun to spend the evening with you! I wish we could all play together a lot more often. Maybe we’ll be able to plan a trip some day:)
