Celebrating the Fourth of July in Jackson

Our old stomping grounds: Belhaven University.

The grounds are still beautiful, 

and Dr. Kenyon is still challenging young minds (some younger than I recall).

There is a host of little playmates for Naomi to get to know.

What better place to meet up with Sarah Bannerman than a Mandeville-meets-Madison restaurant, The Broken Egg. Clearly, Sarah is now more than just my friend! 

Great to catch up with old friends in their new houses.  Here, Mark and Lizby are in front of their wonderful abode.

Not every day does Naomi come across someone sporting a larger flower than her own.

Beautiful girls!  One day, maybe they can swap out flowers and headbands.

 Two of the many faces it did us good to see again.

After consuming one of his business cards and inspecting his BU office, Naomi and the Dean of Students have become fast friends.

Many, though not all, of the people who make going to Jackson so very worth it.
Gracious thanks to the Callens for hosting us and this great party!
