Christa and I began these playdates when Anna and Tyler were just months old. We were two new stay at home moms craving adult interaction and needing to talk through the highs and lows of first time parenting.
Christa and I were already good friends but those days together really deepened our friendship as we talked, cried, vented and laughed (hard!) about everything!
And Tyler and Anna created such a special bond between the two of them. Even after going months without seeing each other they can pick up right where they left off.
Cut to two more kids and two busy busy schedules later and these precious playdates are few and far between. This year Anna and Tyler are in preschool on opposite days so it's even harder. With Thanksgiving this week school was closed and we all spent the day together once again, with two new little boys in the mix. Seeing Anna and Tyler race around the house together really brought home how much they've grown up! They had a blast decorating cookies, playing monster, painting pictures and just goofing around together. Calvin and Emmett fit right into the melee of it all. They joined in the chase with the big kids, pulled out all the toys, ate cookies and did a little napping too.

Ooooh! This post brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, where does time go?? It makes me sad to think of all that time already gone. And yet, what a special wonderful friend to share those times with. We love you all and enjoy each moment we spend with you - even if they aren't as often any more!! We are so thankful for you and your friendship.
