Big events are coming and going. Events that I haven't blogged yet. Events that I really want to remember. Today was an event. We had our precious new friends over to play. Our NEW FRIENDS! One of the hardest parts about uprooting your children and moving them across the country is leaving behind friends. When you are two or three...or four, friends mean familiarity. Routine. Comfort. I have been so worried about this. Worried that my little bits will somehow be negatively affected by lack of familiar friend play. Well, worry has gone out the window. About a month after Ashton started school, he came home talking nonstop about one child.
Major.
"Mama, can Major come to our house and play?" "Major loves racecars just like me." "Mama, pa-leezeeeee call Major's mama!" and so on and so forth. So, finally, I did. Well, first I asked Ashton's teacher if Major's mom was normal because Ashton would not stop talking about Major. Ha! After being assured that Major's mom, Jaime, was indeed "normal", I contacted her. Thank you Lord for Jaime. Ever meet someone and immediately think "I get her. Yep. I think we will be friends for a very long time."? Jaime. Not sure I have ever had so much in common with someone. And the kicker? We are NEIGHBORS and had NO idea. The Lord works in wonderful ways...
Ashton's main man, Major and sweet Lilla. Ashton is not the only one who has found a new friend. Emory has become quite enthralled with Lilla.
New friends make us giddy.
As far as Emory's concerned, if Lilla ain't doing it, it ain't right.
The baby of the family, Ande. Did I mention they have three little munchkins just like us?! Yes, she is just as precious in real life.
Can't leave out this little guy. Daddy threatened to come hijack him and get his haircut today. I keep saying that I'm going to cut it... then I run my fingers through his manly little sidepart, melt into a puddle and decide to put it off another day. Maybe tomorrow.
