Best Friends Forever

Theresa and I have been friends since we were 12 years old. For some of those years we didn't speak and we went our separate ways and did our own things, but 7 years ago when we both moved back to PR we reconnected and it's been so much fun since then. Jim and I moved into the townhouse complex where her and her husband lived and from there we had our very own F.R.I.E.N.D.S situation. They lived right behind us and we would meet on the deck for coffee in the warmth of many summer mornings and supper on summer evenings.

This past June they moved on from the townhouses and we miss having them nearby, but on the other hand now that we have to make the effort to drive there to see them our visits are so much fun and more meaningful as they are a lot less often than they used to be.

The Slacks older boys have watched James grow since a baby and have always been great with him. Dane especially has had a bond with James and loves him just like a big brother. I wondered whether we would ever have children together as theirs were so much older than mine...then happily discovered they were expecting their third just two months after us. Kaleb was born not quite a month ago and tonight we got together for our first good visit since he arrived and just couldn't help but to take a picture of the 5 boys together. I'm sure this will be the first of many of these photos we will take...and before we know it they will all be shoulder to should on a couch instead of all five comfortably sitting on a loveseat! I can't believe that it's just me and Theresa surrounded by our pack of boys!

We love you Slack Family and really look forward to watching all of our boys grow up together!
