Old friends

So, despite bringing our camera here, we have not yet taken a single photo. So I snagged some Facebook photos to show you who we are actually seeing during our return to the Polar North.

 

We are staying with Dave & Lesley Jones. Dave & Lesley lived a few floors above us in the condominium building we lived in. We owned #202 and Dave & Lesley owned #406 in Rochester Towers. They bought a house right near the downtown. Dave is in his fellowship for orthopedics with a hand specialty and Lelsey, a pediatrician, is now staying home with their two boys: Caleb (2.5) and Josiah (9 months). Here is a picture of their family:

 

Last night, Dave & Lelsey had a few friends over so we could catch up. Here is Erica and Christopher with their little girl Annabelle. Erica is expecting a little boy any day now. He was a fellow Mayo medical student (a few years behind JB and Dave and Lesley.)

 

And here are the Yuans: Brandon, Kristen, and Halle. They have a three week old little girl now too. Brandon was also a medical student with Dave and Lesley:

 

We are going to stay with Dave & Lelsey for a few days and then switch and stay with the Ray family for a few days. But Ron and Ebby and their boys: Hunter and Cole stopped by to see us last night for a few minutes. They have been our friends since we all lived together in Kentucky. And if you remember, Veronica (second from right) was the gal who came and lived with us for about 10 months in Turkey:

Much more to come. Today, our friends Jake and Rana (from Turkey) who now live in Minnesota are driving 2.5 hours to see us here in Rochester. So wonderful to see so many great people!
