Old Friends

I'm feeling a bit sad tonight.  We just had to say goodbye to some of our good friends.  The Hopkins Family has been a great part of our Durham life since we moved back.  Nathaniel and Evan met before they could walk when we all got together in the same playgroup.  Now, they are big four year olds and great friends.  I feel so lucky to have been a part of this group of friends, both adults and kids, and we will miss their family now as they move to Virginia.  That's okay, we will have to visit, and until then, we can look back on all of our great memories in pictures.

Friday, we tried to recreate one of our favorite pictures.  We headed to the mall play area where we've taken the boys' picture before.  It's become a tradition.  However, this time, the boys were all absolutely crazy.  We did manage to get some approximation of a picture.  Oh well, the boys were having fun, and they will definitely miss each other!

Just remember: Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold. Don't lose track of them. Love, Mommie Dearest
