Best Buddies

This past week, my friend, Emily and her family came to visit us in Seattle. I met Emily when we were both about 6-8 weeks pregnant with our 2nd babies. Our first two are 9 months apart and our 3rd babies are 10 days apart. Our kids love each other and my girls have talked about Rebekah and Mackenzie on a daily basis for the past 7 months. Emily and I text each other multiple times a week. She is a special friend that I'll have forever. When she told me that her family wanted to do a family vacation here before girls weekend, I was so excited!

Even though bedtime got really late and my kids kept everyone up, I'm still glad we did a sleepover...they were so excited.

These two have such a special bond and it took us moving away for us to realize how much they mean to each other.

Maxwell and Abigail met just a couple times before our move so it was so fun to see them interact together.

We spent most of our time at the beach, which was so fun for everyone.

These kids can play for hours.

Best buddies. These girls have been friends for about 3.5 years and get along so well. They have done FaceTime several times since we have moved and will carry a conversation for up to an hour; it always amazes Emily and me.

Laura got in a day before the "official" start of girl's weekend. It was so fun to have an extra day with her. She lives in Nebraska and I hadn't seen her since last years girl's weekend. I love the way she loves on my kids (she has 3 little ones at home).

Such a fun week with some of our favorite people. We miss you all already!
