Short, but wonderfully sweet

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from some long-time friends yesterday. Jay, Laurie, Alden and I were friends BEFORE kids...... many years ago. We appreciated each other then and CERTAINLY do now. What a great time we had catching up.

Precious friendship.

A little silliness ~ we had forgotten the timer on our camera took 3 pictures....so we were all done after the first one .......and then it kept shooting pictures!!!!! What fun!

Fun last few days ~ Wed - Sun

Last Wednesday I enjoyed some time with Courtney and her kids. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Joshua head off to kindergarten on his bus AND loved eating lunch with Rebekah at her school (a 3rd grader this year!).
