Friends

All of your time wasn't spent relaxing at home! A few times you hit the road with your mama and we hung out with some very good friends:)


This is your Auntie Aliki. She and Mommy have been friends for about 16 years and counting. We met our freshman year at college and lived across the hall from each other. We took nearly all of our classes together too. Aunt Aliki invited us to her house for what we thought was just a lunch but it was really...

a surprise belated birthday party for you two! How sweet is your auntie! Leatha came over with K and I and there was even another baby there too! You guys had a ball with Baby P. You had a fabulous lunch, 'cause Aliki is a fabulous cook :), you had ice cream and cake, and presents from Baby Gap! Ryan, notice how intently you are looking at that cake! LOL

Ryan, in this picture you are with Mommy's dear friend Ms. Kim (yep, this is how you two will learn to refer to adults. You've gotta put some kinda "handle" on adult's names just like Mommy and Daddy were taught). Ms. Kim and Mommy met at work about 5 years ago and have been great friends ever since. Ms. Kim is the absolute sweetest person Mommy knows.

Evan, you are with Ms. Rosalyn, another good friend that Mommy met at work. Actually, Ms. Rosalyn, Ms. Kim, and Mommy were like three peas in a pod! They couldn't wait to meet you two! In these pictures we are out having lunch, and after we ate I know we stayed right there for at least 2 hours laughing and talking! Oh the talking and laughing we did on this day! You two actually fell asleep on us:) It was old times for the three of us again! Before Mommy married Daddy and left Montgomery the three of us would be together literally all the time. We worked together, then we'd leave work and head to dinner and/or shopping, and/or a movie or a play. We did this at least twice a week. Their hubby's worked in the evenings and Mommy didn't have a hubby yet, so we could do that with no problem. Good, good times:) Life with you two is even better, though.

One thing Mommy hope for you two is not only for you to be FRIENDS with each other, but for you to find a few life friends as well. Having a good friend is a special gift, sons. If you have just one you are blessed. Having more than that, well that's just icing on the cake. Find friends that you can trust. Friends that accept you for who you are, and friends that you can have fun with.
