Friends

It's so special having friends that we are doing life with. Beth & I met when we each only had one child - Harrison was 15 months old, and Josiah was about 9 months old. We were at a mall playground when Josiah took his first steps. We've had 5 more children together. We've been through job changes, moves, family drama, parenting challenges, becoming runners!! :), triumphs, failures, and everything in between. This visit was SO what my heart needed - it's just so wonderful to have friends visit where everything just falls into place. I can relax and be myself - there's no pretense, no pretending. It just is life. And I love having them as part of it! :)


Jackson and Caleb playing ball
These girls were a HOOT together!!!!

We caught them on the couch just giggling away..."talking" about who knows what, but having a great time doing it! :)

Some light sabre action in the backyard
We spent some time that afternoon at the pool, but with 7 kids in the pool, neither mommy had extra hands for taking pictures! You'll just have to take our word for it! :)
