Special Visitors

My best friend, dating back to elementary school, brought her little girl (that just so happened to be born on my birthday one year ago) and stayed with us for a few days. The kids were very excited for Emily's visit. Dalanie prayed for her safe arrival in the days leading up to her visit.

We played in the yard with Hudson's caterpillar, went on a bike ride, and enjoyed our slow-paced simple life. We stayed up late catching up and enjoyed watching our kids play together. We reminisced of years past and discussed current challenges. On the last day, we got massages and enjoyed lunch without kids. It was so fun to have them here. Now I'm longing for a big city marketing job for her husband in Idaho and a cross-country move from D.C.Lydia was a real trooper, she tolerated Hudson locking her up and entire afternoon.
It was fun to pick a bouquet from my yard to put in the guest bedroom for her.

I enjoyed EVERY second of it!! Hopefully it's not too long before we can have another fun filled visit. And I loved the flowers downstairs. They made the bedroom so inviting and cheery! THANK YOU!!!
