Fun with Friends

I was able to spend some time today with 2 of my very good friends, Mary and Kristen. Mary lives in Minneapolis and she was in town with her kids, so Kristen, along with her husband Mark and their kids also came into town from Detroit. It was so much fun watching Mary's 3 girls, Kristen's 3 boys, and our kids all interact with each other since they don't see each other very often. We realized that we did get to have more adult conversation than the last time we were together several years ago because the kids (besides Miriam) are old enough to feed themselves and play pretty independently now! I'm so thankful that these friendships stay strong despite the distance that separates us.
