The great thing about having friends move to faraway places, is that it supplies Kelli and I with great vacation destinations. We had a blast in California visiting a good friend fresh out of college and we've seen a lot that Colorado has to offer because of good friends packing up and leaving Iowa.The bad thing about having friends move to faraway places is that they are no longer around to spend time with!
As is the case with Dave and Kara, two of our very good friends from UNI. For more than four years now, Dave and Kara have called Australia home and since plane tickets are pretty pricey, we have to settle for seeing them once a year. With Dave making a name for himself in the NBL, Australia's version of the NBA, and recently signing for two more years, it doesn't look like they'll be heading home permanently anytime soon. Maybe a trip to the land down under should be in our cards after all . . .
It was great to see them. Kara literally made Kelli's day shortly after Charly was born by calling from Australia. Kelli was beaming throughout the conversation and in tears missing her after she hung up. So having them meet Charly was pretty special. And we have to say, Kara was quite the natural with her. Charly spent most of the night in her arms! Kara put her to sleep rather easily at our house and later at Doug and Staci's, she even fed her, kept her warm outside, and put her to sleep again.
Hopefully someday they will be back in Iowa for good. Until then . . . maybe we need to get Charly a passport!

Get your butts up to the land downunder! If you don't… we will! Charly could come back with a cute 'lil accent.
