look who came back for a visit. so fun to see these two kiddos back together, even if just for an afternoon.

 

haley is actually back with me for the summer break. so she'll be around all the time. nikolas has come for a few short visits, here and there. well, he had came by the house on father's day, to bring joe a card.

 

and the first thing he asked was "where is haley". as if she should just be here ALL the time. lol!

 

so we told his mom and dad to bring him back during the week, for a visit, since haley would be here. i've been told how much he misses us. he knows he's welcome here anytime he wants.

 

flashback to september 2008. almost 3 years ago.

 

awwww. they've grown up. all three of them ;) 

 

i used to have to work really hard to get photos of haley and nikolas back in the day.

 

but, on this day, they were all about having me take their picture. they would take turns, coming up and doing something cute for me. this is one of nikolas's karate moves.

 

zachary is not so cooperative with the photo taking. it's the age. i keep reminding myelf of that.

 

zachary had a great time with the kids. nikolas has only seen zachary a few times, but he LOVES him. dotes on him, and was always giving him hugs.

 

joe and his "boys". the boys that have come through here, always have a special place in joe's heart. he calls them "my boys". totally made his father's day, when nikolas stopped by to see him.

 

flashback to january 2009. two and a half years ago. the color was terrible on this photo, which is why it's black and white.

 

two and a half years later. sure, the kids are bigger. and i have bangs. but that's about all that's changed. they're still awesome, funny, and sweet. and i still love them more than anything. and the color was still terrible in our photo, which is why it's once again black and white 😉
