Emily & Wendi

We were so lucky to get visits from two more great friends in the same week! Emily McDonough and Wendi Christensen came over for lunch. And they each brought their two daughters (each) to play.... I'm noticing a trend in the double daughter department among my friends. Thank goodness I had twin girls or I'm not sure I would've fit in.

The McDonoughs: Emily, baby Lily, Claire

The Christensens: Emma, Hollie, Wendi

It was so fun to chat and hang out. I need some good socialization in my life and it does my soul good to be with friends. I wished Wendi could've stayed longer, but look at the beautiful gift she made my girls!

 Such talent, right?! And so thoughtful of her to make! They're so soft, I kind of wanted to just snuggle in them myself. My girls sure liked them.

It was fun to visit with Emily for so long. I love watching Em be a mother to her children-- she speaks to them with so much love and patience. I'm always so impressed. Not to mention she makes me laugh so hard and I feel like I can tell her anything and she'll understand. She told her husband B (who was home for the day) that she was coming over and wouldn't be gone too long. He just smiled. She asked him why and he said, "I know you. And I know Steph. And I know how much you two love to talk." Three (four?) hours later... yeah, he's pretty right.

What a wonderful visit, thanks for coming, girls! Thanks for lunch! And thanks again, Wendi, for the beautiful blankets!
