Ian and Chris: Future Photographers?

 


The musings of 2 four year olds with a camera. I decided to leave out the "butt shots!" LOL

Flashback to Fall 1993

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

To say we were the odd couple probably is an understatement. I am still not quite sure how the folks at good old Butler University put us together. I mean our names both start with the letter "C" and we both started out as pharmacy majors, but I think that probably was where our similarities ended. I actually think we have more in common now than we did back then since we both grew up to marry and have 2 beautiful baby boys. But Cathy and I were freshman roommates at Butler. And through our differences we managed to be friends. I'm sure she could say all sorts of lovely and not so lovely things about me. I'm sure I am not the most fun person to live with especially when I am stressed out in the small confines of a dorm room, but she somehow has managed to put those things aside and let the good outshine my bad. (Thanks, Cathy!)

So when I was home it seemed like a fun idea to meet up with Cathy and let our boys play together. So we went over to Cathy's lovely home in Brownsburg for a playdate. It was nice to see Cathy and meet her lovely children. The kids played and of course, we moms took lots of photos. Then we let the big boys have a chance to take photos. Ian took the one of me and Cathy together with my DSLR. Not too shabby! I'll post the ones that Chris and Ian took with the snappy camera in the next post! Thanks for having us over! The kids had a great time and it was great to see you again, Roomie!

Pi Phi Sisters

 

 

 

Monday evening my brother offered to babysit for me since my parents both had to work. This gave me the opportunity to go back to Indianapolis to see a few of my Pi Phi sisters. We met up at Jillian's, but quickly decided that Devour Downtown sounded much better and ended up at Harry and Izzy's! It was delicious and so great to catch up! And it's awesome because we all seem to pick up right where we left off. It's never awkward! I love these ladies!

Hershey's Drive In

 
Ice cream, kids and good old friends! Oh the memories and yummy to boot! Amy and Bryan's little boy, Christopher, is quite a cutie! He's 4 months older than Aaron. We had a good time getting dessert together!

Long Time Friends

 
I keep getting into trouble for calling some of my friends "old" friends. Because who's old? LOL But I count these girls and Larry as some of my truest and long time friends. I met Larry in preschool. I met Amy in kindergarten and Lisa in the 3rd grade. I can't remember when Shelly and I met, but I am sure we were pretty young. And along with good friends comes spouses and they become part of the clan, too! It was so great to see my long time friends at the Beef House, one of my long time favorite restaurants! Steaks, salads, and rolls! Anyone who has ever been there knows exactly what I speak of! And to share it with "old" friends was just almost as good as time standing still if even only for an hour or so!

Papaw's Park

 


Okay so my dad owns no park. He just happens to live across the street from one and the grandkids think that is is Papaw's park since my dad always gets "conned" into taking them over there. It is the same park and a lot of the same stuff that was there when I was a kid. There is some new stuff, too, but most importantly there is still a lot of good park fun to be had.
