Friends and Fun

It has been a busy week already... but a very good one! I needed friends this week, so it all worked out beautifully. We are still thinking we have 2 more friends who happen to be in town - and may add them to the list of visits as well.
We got to see Kristie and her daughters Monday (they spend the night so we had time to catch up with was so nice) and then Jody and her daughter on Tuesday! And Joe even got to go to the zoo with Jody today.
I also wanted to post some other pics - one of Samuel and his rocking chair (he wanted to be near us in the kitchen, so he brought it from his room and plopped down!) And then we got a really cute outfit from my mom's dear friend (thanks Rae Nora - it's so cute and the perfect size!)
Been thinking a lot about Samuel - he is getting so big & grown up. Amazing how quickly time goes by. We are dreading sending him to daycare/school, but also know it will be good for him to be challenged and learn. But I also know he will pick up some bad habits & bad behaviors, which makes my heart really sad. He is such a good kid, which a good heart... but he is also really impressionable right now. I do know every parent goes through this - but it doesn't make it easier on me. I sure love him.
