Reconnecting

One of the thrills of coming back to a place we've lived is reconnecting with friends.  We have missed them very much over the past few years.  I think for G-bear, it's mostly like making new friends, although she remembers some visits, and she connects fast.  Moo remembers more, and some of the friends she has reconnected with, she has known since she was a baby.  It's also thrilling to meet new people.  We have this wonderful mix of new and old, familiar and fresh.  Already, we have been relaxing with friends much more often than we ever did in Georgia.  It seems to take less effort here.  Last weekend, we spent nearly the whole weekend visiting with a string of friends, and I realized, this is exactly what we have been craving.
