Good Friends

I am so blessed by the wonderful friends in my life. It has been a whirlwind of visitors during these past couple of months since everyone has been excited to meet Tommy. I don't think we've had this many people over in the previous five years of living in this house! I love spending time with these great people and am so grateful for their friendship.

I used to work with my good friend C before I started teaching. I'm so glad that we've stayed close and that he finally met Tommy!


My friend A was a teacher at my school and she came over yesterday with a delicious lunch. We love going out for happy hour and I look forward to sharing our next bottle of wine!


And I can't believe I forgot my camera today when I spent the afternoon with Mrs. Mike!! We had met once before at a dinner with a group of ladies last year (see this link) and have always wanted to get together since then. Today it finally happened!

She is the sweetest gal and we could have chatted forever. Her two sweet boys greeted me at the door. They were a little shy and yet I could tell they were excited to have visitors and to meet my little Tommy.

Mrs. Mike's house is lovely and there was fresh bread and cinammon rolls baking - yum! She made the most delicious lunch (I need that recipe!) and we talked all afternoon about infertility, adoption, motherhood, suffering, faith, etc. She showed me her collection of slings which she makes - I was so impressed. I look forward to getting together again - especially once her baby girl arrives in just a couple of weeks!

I will leave you a picture of Tommy's latest obsession - his fingers! He can't stop sucking on them. :)
