You've Got to Have Friends

We have lots of good friends here in Georgia.  (Actually, we have lots of great friends all over the country, but a good group of buddies also reside here in the ATL.)  We went into the weekend without any planned activities, but ended up seeing lots of people!  Yea for impromptu gathering (that includes good food.)

Brian and Carl came by on Saturday, and we managed to get some burgers on the grill in time for lunch. Cousin Katelyn joined us, too!  JB enjoyed so much attention all afternoon. He's really into funny faces/sounds right now, and this group was happy to oblige.

Enda was also thrilled one of her best labradoodle friends, Hudson, came to play.  There would be 10 minutes of frantic chasing and running, followed by Hudson collapsing at the water bowl and Enda returning to her perch to obsess over the bees in the hostas.

Our neighbors sent out a text later to let us know they were making margaritas and tacos for supper.  And these guys don't mess around - margaritas from scratch, tacos from scratch, and homemade tortillas (from Pappasitos, but - holy guacamole - were they good.) JB had fun trying out all their baby's toys, and playing with his friends Everett and Clementine.

Yea for Tacos!

Guy talk

On Sunday we headed to church. When we asked "did JB cry", the sweet nursery worker, Ms. Joyce, replied "well…not the whole time…"  That's success, right??  Afterwards we went to Costco just in time for samples.  In the afternoon, we decided to crash our friends' Sunday by heading over their way.  We had a great time, just catching up and letting the kiddos play.

It's amazing how other people's toys are so fascinating for JB.  He has baskets full of toys at home, but what does he want to play with at our house?  Anything else he can find (and if it's dangerous, a definite bonus.)

Little Reagan was so sweet with JB, even when he tried to grab her hair, nose, or whatever he could get his little hands on.

Just another shot of the cute kiddos to add to the collection.  I love to see how these friends are growing up together, just like their  daddies.  :)

Friends definitely make the weekends sweeter and more fun.  So thankful for them!
