Meeting Calli!

A friend of mine from college was in town at the beginning of October with her new baby girl Calli!  Emili and I lived together for a year while we were in college at the Reisetter house.  The year after we lived together, Emili left to go to Texas to do YWAM full-time.  While she was in Texas, she met her husband and got married.  After they were finished with YWAM, Emili and her husband Neil moved to Ohio, where they currently live.  In August, Emili had a baby girl, Calli, and I was hoping that she would be bringing her to Iowa so that we could meet her.  Emili had also never met Norah.  I was so excited when I found out she was in town at the beginning of October!  So, Emili and Calli came over for a visit.  They had lunch with us and then we went on a walk around our neighborhood.  It's always fun to catch up and talk to Emili.  I feel like we can just kind of pick up where we left off the last time.  We don't get to see her very much since she lives so far away, but it is so good to see her when we do.  The day Emili and Calli came over, I told Kyler that baby Calli was going to come over and visit.  It was fun to see him interact with a newborn again being 8 months older than he was when Norah was born.  After we ate lunch, he even wanted to hold Calli.  Emili helped him prop her up on a pillow on the end of the couch and he did such a good job! (see the picture below).  Even the next day Kyler was still asking "where Calli was?".  We had such a fun time visiting with Emili and meeting Calli, we can't wait to see them again!
