Yay for visitors!

This week one of my bestest friends in the whole world flew all the way to TX with her sweet little girl to visit us. It was so much fun to have her here and to show her our new home. It was great to be able to see Halle, with 6 month old Mya, and to kind of break her in as big sister. She mostly loved Mya, except for the few times where I heard,
"Mya is looking at me."
"Why is Mya touching me?"
"What's Mya doing with my cup?"
"I want to play with that."
We had many teachable moments on sharing and taking turns, but Halle really was a great helper and a sweetie and very gentle with such a little one. I loved having a friend here, and it's amazing how we can just pick up from where we left off like no time has passed between us. We figured out we met our freshman year of college- 9 years ago! We've been through a lot since then and it's so fun to see how our lives are now. Here's some pics of our time together...






One of the highlights of her trip would be our trip to the pumpkin patch. Halle loved running around and taking it all in. It was a fun thing for us to do with our girls!







I'll be so sad when they go home tomorrow, but I'm so thankful they were able to get a little taste of our lives here in TX and we'll just have to look forward to the next visit!
