Thankful for friends

It was such a blessing to get to see our friends, the Partens, on Sunday. I really cannot believe they've been gone for a year already. It was great to visit with them and to get to see the kids play together again...but sad in a way because the kids have all grown and changed so much in just one short year. It was such a nice afternoon that we met several friends at the park then went to dinner together after playing. (Dinner was a little wild, but still fun.) :)

The kids...growing up too fast!

(Thanks to Brian for getting them all to laugh!)

Just the little girls:
And the grown-up girls (+ Crosby):

Stacy, Ali, Lianne, me & C

I'm thankful for the friends in my life!
