The Gift of Friendship

July 7, 2005
This afternoon, I scanned and printed off more pictures for our album. I think I'm almost done with that part!

Then, this evening, a dear friend invited me over to her house while our husbands were at work. She had gone through all of her baby stuff from her two kids (now almost 2 & 4), and gave me a bag of onesies, jammies, bottles, and a box of toys! She also offered to give us their crib whenever we're ready for it! Wow! What a blessing! We are thanking God for our friends, and for His amazing blessings.

This friend is always very reassuring, faithfully encouraging us that we will be parents someday, and she tells me often that she thinks we will be really great parents! We're definitely gaining a lot of experience by spending time with her girls! They are very active, strong-willed, but very fun, little kids. :) I went to the park with them yesterday, and we had a great time. (This was after they locked themselves in the bathroom and covered themselves with shampoo. We tossed them in the tub immediately! Then we had a little "battle of the wills" over wearing shoes. But we survived, and finally made it to the park!)
