fun with friends

"Every woman should develop the kinds of bonds that will allow her to know she has someone she can count on. Someone who will give her the best advice, even if it is unpleasant. Someone who will expect the most from her...and someone with whom she can celebrate life."


Maya Angelou





God has truly blessed me with great friends. Last weekend I was priviliged to spend the day with two of my very best friends and their adorable children. We had a great time just being in each other's company. Jessica welcomed Tara and me and our kids to her home where we spent part of the day relaxing and playing. In the afternoon we decided to venture to the park and attempted to take lots of great pics. Unfortunatly, we didn't get very many good ones. It's hard to get a good shot of toddlers who are always on the move and although it was easier with the little ones, the sun was too bright for good quality pictures. Oh well! After the park we headed to McDonald's for ice cream and dinner...yes, we did eat in that order :) Kenley and Jacob enjoyed playing in the play place and Jarrett and Greyson were perfectly content just hanging out. We did manage to take a pretty great picture of all of us before we left the park.

I am so thankful for my friendship with these girls (and their kids!). It is such a wonderful feeling to know that I will always be able to count on them and celebrate life together throughout many years to come.
