A beautiful day

Is there anything better than a Sunday?

Today has been the perfect day. The sun is shining, the house is clean, we've spent the day with the girls. And — even better — with friends.

My favorite friends from Lafayette are spending part of their spring break with us. It's not just us — they love Texas (he went to college in Dallas, SMU). But they also came to see us. It's been fun to hang out with them, and it's nice to know they care enough about us after we left that they came to see us in our new home.

Their three kids are all roughly nine months older than ours, but they threw a boy into the mix. Still, our six kids get along pretty well together — especially the two sets of girls. When I look at our eldest daughters, who have become tall, blonde and beautiful, I cannot believe they are the same little girls I watched play together as toddlers.

They've grown, just as we have. And our friendship.

It's been wonderful to see them; I will hate to see them go, as it will make me acutely aware, again, of what we left behind.
