Akinas

While in Fresno we were able to get together with not only family, but our dear friends that are as good as family! David Akina has been one of my friends since I was about 13. I became almost instantly attached to his wife Mary and she ended up being one of my bridesmaids. Then there is Lizzy, their 2 1/2 year old daughter who is one of the cutest kids that God ever made. One of the things that we miss most living out here in Iowa is just "doing life" with these dear friends. No plans. No agenda. Just hanging out. Well, we got to do just that. We went to dinner at PF Changs (yummo honey shrimp!) and hung out at the Smiths house. Lizzy is amazing with Jonah, and loves babies in general. Good thing she is gonna be a big sister in just under a month!! Here we are hanging out in the backyard, soaking up that beautiful Spring sun! Finding bugs, hanging out with Anna the baby doll (Lizzy seeks her out as soon as she crosses the threshold into the Smiths house), swinging and just being together!
