Friends

At 3 1/2 years old, little Pearce has lots of cute little friends!  Claire and Pearce have been friends since they were first born!  Pearce is just a month older than Claire and they are so darn cute together!  They really, really love playing and being together.  Whenever I tell Pearce we are going to see Claire, he can't get out of the house fast enough...all other times, he is dragging his feet :)  On this day, Heather and I met at Barnes and Noble, but we quickly realized we needed to get them outside because they just wanted to run and tackle each other....at least Pearce was wanting to tackle Claire.  So we went to a park that was right next door and they had so much fun together.  I just happened to get these cute pics of them together and they couldn't be any cuter with their coordinating outfits...which we did not plan!  Wouldn't it be something if Pearce and Claire always loved each other and got married one day?!  Hey, I can dream :)  I at least hope they will always be friends :)







Pearce and I have been a part of a play group since Pearce was about a month old!  I was so worried about finding friends after quitting teaching and for me to have found this group is sooo amazing.  We always talk about how awesome our group is and how close we all are to each other and how every single mom would not hesitate for a second to help one another out.  And our kids are so cute together, too!  We just all mesh so well and we have stayed together for 3 1/2 years meeting once a week!  Well, sadly, Danielle is moving to Toledo, Ohio to be closer to her and her husband's family.  When she sent the email out to us, I immediately started crying.  I just love Danielle and Allie and Baby Caroline!  Danielle is the type of person that always knows the right thing to say to make you feel better about anything AND she is so funny....ugh, so sad she is leaving.  So, we decided to have a going away party and have one last play date with Allie :(  Those of us that could, met at Phil's Ice House to eat lunch and play.  We were lucky to get this cute pic of our group!  Not everyone was able to make it, but I still LOVE this picture...and I realize I am holding a "man-child."  We all had so much fun playing and Pearce was totally a sweaty, dirty mess when we left...3 hours later!  Pearce gave Allie a little gift of several coloring books with crayons for their LONG drive to Ohio.  I gave Danielle a McDonald's gift card.  You might think, McDonald's?????  What????  Well, the funny thing about Danielle is that she drives through McDonald's just about every day to get a large diet Coke because any size drink is $1.  So, I gave her a gift card to continue her diet Coke addiction, and she LOVED it!!!!  So funny!  We will miss you Danielle, Allie, and Baby Caroline!!
