It is as though I had never left. Yesterday we got together with Nicole and the kids like we usually do, except we were both 1,400 miles away from home.
It was fun to hang out with them. Carson loved being loved and held by her second family.
Carson really likes when Porter holds him. He just stares and smiles at him the entire time Porter is around. I think it's that man-to-man bonding.
Emilia was so happy to see Claire. She couldn't believe when I told her we were going to meet them that same afternoon. She kept telling me "No mama, Claire is tommorrow" 
We spent some time walking around and checking out the different stores at Gardner Village. Claire and Emilia found some cute dress-up clothes to try on.

They had a blast riding ponies. Emilia's pony was named Pal.
Thanks for the visit Nicole. It was good to get to spend time with you guys. It's going to be a long time before we see some of our TX friends again.
