Friends


I finally scanned this picture in from a photo session in May. Aren't they so sweet? We didn't even tell Maddie to rest her head on Asher's hands, she just wanted to be close. I love that they are such good friends.

Maddie was sick on Tuesday and Asher was beside himself with boredom. He kept begging her to play outside with him and she just wanted to lay on the couch. I remember worrying that having a baby so soon after Asher was taking something away from him. Far from it! I am so happy that we gave him his best friend. In fact, Paul and I were arguing a few weeks ago and Asher ran up to us and yelled "Mama! Daddy! Be best friends like me and Madeleine!" So I poked Paul in the eye and ran off with his toy.

Some random notes: Being hugely pregnant adds at least 20 degrees to the summer heat. I ran into a friend yesterday who seemingly just had a baby. I asked how old she was now and I was astonished that she is 9 weeks old! It seems like the baby was just born and she is older than the time I have left! This pregnancy is flying by.

I also joined face book yesterday! Paul finally set it up for me because he wants me to play face book Mafia with him. I was dragged into it kicking and screaming, but I am now finding it hugely addicting. Um, so, be my friend :)

I really love that picture, George often will try to wake Jack up from his nap so he can play with him.

Okay, I am still laughing about poking Paul in the eye and running off with his toy. You are hilarious! I can't believe you have less than 9 weeks left. Crazy! It seems like forever since I've seen you. One of these times we're going to have to synchronize our schedules and actually make it to church on the same Sunday.
