One of my best friends from high school lives in Michigan with her family & we have been fortunate to visit her a few times in Michigan when we used to go visit my grandfather. In fact, the last time we saw her was 2 years ago - it was around the July 4th holiday in 2012. We went to my grandfather's memorial service with the rest of my family & while we were there we stopped by the hospital to surprise Suzi because she just had her 3rd baby. Fast forward to today & she now has 3 children & that baby that I met at the hospital is turning 2!
Suzi & I don't talk often because we are busy with our crazy kids & their schedules, but we have at least kept in touch through the years. We always send the occasional birthday & Christmas cards, as well as baby announcements but unfortunately our visits tend to be every couple of years. They came down to Texas to visit family for the week & we were fortunate to host them on their drive home. Sadie absolutely loved having company & 3 more friends to play with!
They got here on Saturday & I believe the kids stayed up until 10:00 because they were having so much fun together!
Except for Sophie - she was in bed by 8:30 :) The party didn't stop when the kids went to bed though - Suzi & I stayed up a couple hours later because we had so much catching up to do! I am so thankful to have a friend like her still part of my life. I have many memories of our childhood & growing up together & it's fun to get our families together now & watch our kids play. Thanks for stopping in the DFW area Suzi - we hope you survived the road trip home!
