Friends Again

When we first moved to this area, Elley and I met some pretty neat friends.....Erin and Ava. Elley and Ava are pretty close in age and they got along well, so well that we started getting together once a week and called it playgroup. Our small little playgroup of 2 quickly turned into 3, and then a month later turned into 5.....5 little girls. A lot has changed since then, our friends had to move away and playgroup has turned into all boys....except for Elley and Molly. (but even that will change in the next few months)
This past weekend, our friends came here for a visit. It was so fun to see them, we hope they will come back "home" soon. Ava was able to spend one day with us while her parents got a few things done. Elley and Ava played, and played, and played. It was so fun to see these two two year olds interact all day. They colored, blew bubbles, played princesses, built a fort, and played dress up. It was a fun, fun day.....and all with no fighting!
Here are some pictures of Elley and Ava. The first 2 are almost 2 years ago and the other 2 are from this past weekend.

This is the night Elley and I went over to say goodbye.....SAD!

Such cute pictures! They seem so grown up now. This has been my constant conversation with Ava the past 2 days:

Ava: Momma, guess what?
Me: What?
Ava: I hab a secret.
Me: What's your secret?
Ava: Ummm...Elley Joce (she still won't say Joyce)

That's all she's talked about since we came home. Things are looking hopeful for us to come back--I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

How fun! I love seeing the pictures from a few years ago and then the recent ones! It's fun to see how much they grow and change in a few years! :)

Cute little friends! I know how it goes not having little girls around for your girls to play with. My girls play with boys 99% of the time and not because I try...it's just how it works out!
