Caden's German Friends

Our friends Hendrik and Kathi came to visit us Friday on their way to Switzerland.  They brought their two boys, Jakob and Mathis.  Mathis is just two weeks older than Caden and it was their first time to meet.  The last time we saw them was at the zoo last spring when Kathi and I were both pregnant.

Caden enjoyed playing with Mathis. Jakob had fun for a little while but got kind of bored since he's four and didn't have toys for his age. They all laughed when Collin tried to do a puppet show in German. We had a nice visit with them and look forward to seeing them again.

While they were visiting, Caden crawled over to his baby gate and climbed up to standing.  It was cute but a little scary!  Lately I've spent much of my day holding his hands and walking him around the living room.  He loves standing and walking.


Mathis and Caden.  It's the only picture I got of them both looking at me.

Saturday we went to see our good friends Gary and Lisa. Their jobs transferred them about an hour away from us. We got to see their awesome house (it's new and very nice) and to catch up with them. Lisa made Caden a very nice soft blanket. Caden wanted to play with their little dog, Missy, who was not sure what to think of him. We went to lunch at a TexMex restaurant (it's the closest one to us!) and then later Collin, Caden, and I went to the mall out there. We had a great time.
