playdates...

yesterday, we had a playdate with nora's friend from school. on the way there (after school), nora asked if i could put jamey in a crib and keep him away from where the girls were playing. she also proceeded to give me a rundown of all that the girl had for them to play with. she was BEYOND excited!

the girls had a GREAT time, jamey played with me, and i so enjoyed getting to know this mommy. what fun.

in another playdate today, the mom (another navy mom) commented on how the military community moves so fast... you go from complete strangers to besties in a matter of days. it's such a fun climate. there are less walls up.... which i think is compounded when i meet another Christian military wife. there is a sisterhood, a bond there.

then, this afternoon, I had a playdate! to sew!!! it was so much fun. this mom and i talked about business plans and sewing and all things amy butler! it was so much fun. God has blessed me this week with some new friends (and continued friendships with old ones!). it's so fun to see His compassions new every morning!

jamey is OBSESSED with "chars"... the movie with lighting mcqueen! he loves it... and loves to snuggle. i had laid down on the bed to check the weather, and he saw me and came to the side, with his arms up, asking "nuggle?". it was so precious. what's a mom to do? he really has a decent vocabulary, if only i can understand it! he wants your full attention. he's not okay if you just "listen" to him. he will routinely turn my face so i am looking at him when he talks. good manners!

So, so, so glad God provided you with a Christian friend and one that you have so many things in common with. That was my prayer for you. I love you!
