Lisa Simpson was my college Bible study leader, dear friend, mentor, and matron of honor. We used to hang out all the time when we lived close to each other. But it has been a whopping four years since we last were able to get together! The winter weather squashed our original plans to meet up, but she graciously offered to drive over and meet me halfway across the state today for a lunchtime play date at a random mall in Lansing. We didn’t have as much time to chat as we would have liked, what with keeping tabs on 9 children and all, but it was so sweet to meet each other’s new addition and marvel at how much everyone has grown. Four (and a half!) children later, this is what our joint lineup looks like:
Susie-Mary-Elizabeth-Jane-Tommy-Kate-Clara-Susan-Janie

This is lovely!!! What a great time!
