First Friends to Visit

FINALLY - we had some friends visit! And quite spur of the moment I might add! Nothing like spontaneity! It was such a gift to have the Williams drive 18 hours to visit for 2 days and then drive 18 hours home. Wow.

And the gift was probably the greatest for Macy. Macy and Raegan have been together since the day they born (3 weeks apart). Then they were together in the church nursery every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wed night. Then they were in preschool together. There is just something magical that happened as they fought and played like sisters! These girls have a bond that I appreciate and love. Especially since I never experienced a friendship like that growing up.

Rachel and I thought that they would just go nuts when they saw each other. But they both just smiled and hugged as if it was just last week when they saw each other last! Too funny! Then they played non stop for 48 hours with a small break at night for sleeping! It has been 5 months since Macy has had anyone to play with in that capacity! Someone she is free to fight with and free to play with! Oh the love!

River and Mia played together wonderfully too! Mia fondly calls him "Wiver".

These insane friends of ours - after driving 18 hours to see us - wanted to drive an additional 3 hours to the east coast beach - JUST so they could say they had seen the Atlantic (Wyatt)! In 32 degree weather mind you! At the advice of Pastor Mark we went to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and ate a quick bite at Grotto's pizza before walking on the insanely freezing beach! We of course stopped somewhere for some seafood before heading back...but it was just "ok". After 6 hours of driving we crashed back at our house and then they left out at 4 AM to head home. What pycho friends we have! :)
