JaeKaeNae meetup.

Last night we met up with some good friends to catch up.  Actually, not just good friends, but the best of friends.  The truest of friends. 

It's not often all of JaeKaeNae gets together anymore with Kae being a state away now.  It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years since the three of us graduated from high school.  6 years.  In those 6 years we've all met and married three incredible men and Kae has already had a baby.  Nae has a house, a dog, and is close to getting chickens to fill their empty chicken coop.  We've all graduated from college and started successful careers inside and outside of the home.  

It felt good to get together with besties (and our hubbies).  It felt good to meet at Kae's parents home where we spent many hours in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies and nights on the couch or upstairs talking into the wee hours of the morning.

And so, while these studly studs talked microchips and sports, the three of us caught up on some much needed JaeKaeNae time.

We took to the back porch and talked in between Janae's peekabo games with little Natalie.  She loved the faces Nae kept doing.  She'd clap her hands and giggle every. single. time.

Adorable.

{I love how all of their mouths are open in this one.}

Then we headed back inside with the guys and talked altogether.  And then T got ahold of little Nat and it melted my heart a little...  This husband of mine is a natural with kiddos.

After staying up waaay past Natalie's bedtime (and ours for that matter) we said our goodbyes, gave out our hugs, and headed home.

But left feeling completely refreshed with our JaeKaeNae + Natalie time.  One day, we'll figure out how Kae will move back a little closer.  For now, we'll have to take whatever time we can get with them and adorable little Natalie!

Here's to good friends and good times.
