Visit with Lauren

After Christmas we headed down to Gainesville to visit family and friends—Nana and PopPop, Aunt Jacqui and Uncle Randy, Aunt Chrissy, Uncle Chris, Jacob, Noah, and Emilee, and a few of Jonathan’s high school friends/my college friends (they’re one in the same).  While we were in Gainesville, my good friend Lauren, who also happens to be Ella’s Godmother, brought her two cuties up from Tampa for the day to see us.  We had a great time having lunch at The Swamp (about the only restaurant—kid-friendly restaurant at least—that was still around from our college days) and then we decided to check out the actual Swamp, where the Florida Gators play.  Zoey and Reese were all decked out for the occasion.  So thankful they made the trip up to see us—Ella and I love Lauren…just still wish she lived down the road from us!
