we've made Saturday's our day with friends. we enjoy it thoroughly. alison, henri, michelle and lucy came over after their swimming lesson to share some breakfast and chatting. the kiddos played and we talked, laughed and talked some more. these girls are awesome. our babies have definitely brought us together as great friends, but they are ones that feel i've had my entire life. love that feeling. chris and michelle's husband, rocky, joined us a bit later. rocky was kind enough to help chris move the remaining items from our house into the storage unit. we are so thankful for friends. we've got some great ones. after some lunch, a nap and the realization that it was 4:00, everyone went home. it was such a nice day. we love these friends.
