Fun with Friends

Thursday my friend Karyn and I gave our boys the day off of school, packed them all up and drove 45 minutes to see the daffodils at Wye Mountain. Too bad the field was closed! We got to see them from behind a fence and no cool pictures of the boys in them like I was hoping. Next weekend is the daffodil festival out there so we might try to go back out. We ended up taking the boys to a park, to lunch, and back to Karyn's to play. They were thrilled just to be together so it didn't really matter to them if they got to go in the daffodil field or not. Here are a couple of pictures of the daffodils that I did get plus some of us with our friends.




We first met Karyn and her boys at Homeschool Academy. Devin was new and Clayton was assigned to show him the ropes. They clicked immediately and all I heard about was Devin, Devin, Devin. Finally one day I met Karyn and found out that she had a boy one year older than Evan. She invited us to come for a play date at her house and we've been inseparable since. She has become such a dear friend to me and our boys have also become great friends, especially Clayton and Devin who are the best of buds. On that first day meeting Karyn I learned that her husband works with the railroad and that they move a lot. For a year now I've dreaded the day when she might go and it looks like that day is coming sooner than later. I don't have details yet but her husband, Dave, is being seriously considered for a position in Omaha, NE. I'm trying not to think about it much but I've been hinting to Clayton that the day may come soon and he is not happy. Larry has decided that he is going to spend a week in Hawaii when they leave because Clayton and I are going to be two of the unhappiest people in Little Rock. For now I'm trying to enjoy having them here while I can!
