Back on Mercer Island

We drove up this afternoon because Lonye has appointments at UW this week.  Ed & Patty called us on the way up.  They were headed over to Dave & Tanya's for dinner and wanted to know if we would arrive in time to join them.  Their daughter Tracy was there too, we hadn't met her and her family yet.  

Dave and Tanya live in Sammamish.  We got directions and drove over.  Dave put the steaks on the grill when he heard we were on the way.  The meal was fabulous, as was the entire evening.  We had a very nice time.  We met Tracy, her husband Scott and their kids, Joseph, Sarah, Joshua and Elizabeth.  Dave and Tanya have three, David, Jennifer (5-1/2) and Emma.  Shelby would be so upset if she knew that we spent the evening with all of these kids and she missed out.  Don't tell her!!!  Jennifer did ask if she was coming, we met her the last time Shelby was here.

Let me tell you, we are so fortunate to have met the Volk's.  They have become a part of our family for sure.  They have shared in a very special part of our lives and have opened their home and their hearts to us.  They really are amazing people.... the whole bunch!!
