lasting friendship

Moving to Texas was one of the hardest decisions and most difficult transitions I have had.  My positivity and optimism {most of the time} helped get through days of "what did we do."  But a large amount of credit goes to my closest friend in Texas, Lynn.  I distinctly remember the first time I met her I felt a friendship forming.  As a mother herself she was understanding of my stress and always provided positive reinforcement.

Lynn thank you for being such a wonderful person, friend and playmate to us.  Our life in Texas would not be the same without you.  The Lord knew I NEEDED you and what better place then to put you right next door :)

This is a regular occurrence, I mean like 3-4 days a week.  We get together, try some tot school or just enjoy playing.

Lynn is extremely sweet with my two and such a wonderful mommy.

Trying a new tot school idea....Just shaving and corn starch.  The mess was extensive!  For sure, an outdoor activity.

Caleb and Madison are acting more and more like brother and sister instead of a googly eyed friendship.  Caleb wants certain toys, as does Madison.  You can imagine the tug of war over the one sprinkler sprayer {thank you Lynn for purchasing a second} or the puppy walker that is technically Carson's.  I know the kids are growing from the friendship and sharing is said at minimum 35 times whenever we are together.  These have been great memories!



Note: We almost rented a house in a nearby neighbor.  We walked in and decided we hated {it was dirty!} it.  By complete chance this house went up on the same day, we saw it the next morning, signed papers and moved in by 2 that same afternoon.  God truly showed me His presence.  He knew my heart was heavy and my optimism dwindling.  Having Lynn and Caleb next door has been the most amazing blessing!
