The kids and I went to visit Shannon (and kiddos) this past Saturday–since Tim was working on a side job. It was a simply gorgeous day outside so we spent most of it sitting in lawn chairs watching the kids run through the sprinkler and eat watermelon and icees. Ah, the memories that summer is made of… I tried to take a few pictures, but I’ll admit that I’m pretty lazy these days so most of my pictures were taken from the comfort of my lawn chair (hehe!).
It’s so wonderful to be able to catch up with Shannon when we can find the time. We’re both so busy with life (a.k.a. toddlers and babies) that it’s hard to always carve the time out, but it’s so refreshing to be able to just be myself whenever we finally do get together. The kids play great together too, which is awesome.
Bailey soaking her feet!
All 6 kiddos! (Next time we need to take the picture sooner in the day… 🙂 they were all pretty tired by this time!)
Chloe REALLY likes carrying Maddie these days…

Bailey spraying the boys with the hose–ha!
Watermelon, yum!
Great Pictures Erica! It was wonderful having up over. I needed the chat and I am so glad our kids play so well.
I think it is so wonderful that you have a close friend with kids the same age. That is a real blessing! Keep taking the time to get together, even if it is only a few times a year. There will probably be some difficult times you will be able to help each other through because you have maintained your friendship through the fun times. And I always love seeing pictures of Shannon’s kids, knowing what she went through bringing them into her family. They are just adorable!
