The Roberts Family

There are a few very sad things for us about leaving the east coast. And one of the saddest is leaving the Roberts family. Adam and Katie are, what I've jokingly referred to as, our most symmetrical friends. Matt and Adam met their freshman year at Whitworth and have been buddies ever since. Katie and I met my sophmore year and have been friends ever since. I think they may be our only couple friends where we were individually good friends prior to dating and marriage. Imagine our delight in learning that they had moved to Annapolis and that we would be able to see them often! And we have definitely taken advantage of that. Annapolis and the Roberts family have been our favorite "vacation" friends and place for the last three years.

And ... they have a dog. Jackson, as many of you know, is Henry's BFF (Best friend forever). They are about 8 months apart and have been buds from the beginning.

I am in Annapolis this weekend for the last time, and just thought I'd introduce you all to the family we speak of so often.

Here is the lovely Katie ... all pregnant! She's due in December.

We joke that we are basically the same person ... as evidenced by our super cool waterbottles.

And the BFF's ... very similar, minus the size ... plus Adam and Matt in the top pic.

Mattie walking the dogs, one of the times we had Jacks.

After Jackson's first visit we gave up on trying to keep him off the furniture. He's been on our bed and couches ever since. :)

Their last visit together with their scary short haircuts. Our little alien dogs.

This is definitely a family we are oh so sad to leave behind. But luckily, they are having a baby who will eventually beg to come to Disnleyland ... and we will be there waiting!

Perhaps I'm a wee bit biased, but this is my favorite post of yours thus far :-) Thanks for the wonderful, complimentary shout out. Once I get my hip new blog fully running I am sure those pics will be sported on our blog too! You Kaemingks will be sorely missed, but we so anticipate our pending Cali trip sometime in the new year. YEAH FOR THE FIVE DAY COUNTDOWN!

Hi Friend! I just found this off your facebook! Am I interpreting things correctly thinking you are coming to Washington?! Chris and I are in Post Falls. I really want to talk to you soon! Let me know your plans. Cute pics on this post btw! I love your puppy!
