Friends Are The Best!!

Yesterday the kids and I went on our first road trip. My bestie, Sarah, and her family are back in Texas for a couple of weeks seeing family. We had to take advantage of being in the same state again and I really wanted her to meet my son before he is half grown. It was so great to be with her again even though it was for only a short visit. I miss her so much now that she lives out of state and we both wish that we would have taken advantage of the time when we lived only forty minutes apart. It is one of those "you never know how great it is until it is gone" life lessons.

Our sons, Jacob and Cooper, were born eight months apart
Claire and Caroline were so cute together. I love that their little friendship picks up right where it left off just like their mommies'. I am pretty sure they thought they were the princesses of this small town, walking around like they owned the place.

Our daughters, Caroline and Claire, were born just four months apart. They had so much fun together and were sad when we had to say goodbye.

While we were at Sarah's parents' house the girls found the piano and began playing and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The ABC Song.

Sarah and I have been friends for ten years now and I am so thankful she is in my life. I was so glad that I braved a two and a half hour road trip with two kids to spend a little time with her. She is so worth it! I love her.

Saying goodbye was not quite as hard this time because we already have another get together planned for September....yeah!
