Last summer I was devastated when our good friends, the de León Lockharts, moved away. My only consolation was in knowing that our friendship would continue no matter how great the distance and time that separated us.
We've kept in touch, of course, but I figured we wouldn't see each other for quite some time. Then Shannon wrote to say that she'd travel with her children from Louisville to Boston to coincide with our visit there! I was thrilled!!
We had not seen each other in ten months. That's a LONG time for our preschoolers: almost a quarter of their lives, in fact! But when Chely saw Liam, she whooped for joy. The two immediately picked up as if they'd never been apart. It was the same for Shannon and me (no surprise there). And as for the babies, Diego and Kayalá, they interacted on a whole new level, hugging and babbling and waving at each other. Diego would say "neh neh neh" and Kayalá would answer "nah nah nah." He would say "goo" to her "gah." They definitely spoke the same language.

Liam really, really loves trains.
Liam was thrilled to actually get to ride on a train!
