friends

a strange week so far. started sick, got better (i thought) and then this morning, nope! sick again/still. time with a little one in the bathroom. laundry. running every time i hear a 'mama' spoken with an edge of concern. it's our wednesday.

but we were well yesterday. and we started at the farm.

such a peaceful beginning. i love it out there. with a friend who welcomes us so kindly every time we visit. greeting us as family. we feel at home.

relationships can be so confusing- friendship, true friendship, isn't constantly easy. but i'm so grateful for the many people in my life. people who walk with me and my little family. they stick it out with us. people who think of us, hold us up, and just love us.

my friend beth was here yesterday. she is visiting and lives far away from here, but she came into my house again like she always has. stepping into our lives. making potato salad. reading with samuel. oh i just love friends.

and one more random thought: how stinkin fun is it to watch your kids play? the things this boy of mine comes up with fascinate me.

'new' toys at the farm (remember these!?!):

and this was a veggie-tales inspired 'show' he did with one of each kind of produce in our fridge:

he's just the coolest.

random, i know. so, in summary: we're sick. kind of. doing okay. went to the farm. and friends are totally one of God's best ideas. happy mid-week, my friends.
