Mommies to the park!

Today 2 of my mommy friends and I walked to the park to let our boys play. It was so nice to get out with other mommies my age with little ones the same age. We went at 2 hoping the boys would be well rested after naps and with full tummies. not so much luck. It turned out to be the opposite. they had full tummies but definitely needed naps. Its hard being a yound mommy. up until a few months ago all our friends were either single, married without kids or married with kids but a few years older and in a different stage in life. Once we moved into this apartment complex were met (or in Jeremiah's care re-met) some of his old high school friends. It has been such a God thing. JohnPaul and Lauren are our age and they have a little boy, Cade, who is 1 month and 10 days older than Ryder and they have a little one who is also 2 months. They are amazing. It has been such a relief to hang out and talk with Lauren who understands this stage of mommy hood. our boys play or try to play together a couple days a week while we get some much needed adult conversation. Then we met Becca and Tyler who have a little boy who is 18 months. We are still getting to know them but God is just amazing and has blessed us with some amazing friends who we can live and experience life together. Anyway, some of the park pictures (inbetween the tears)


mommies: Lauren, Becca, Me
kiddos: Cade, Zach, Ryder (baby Madden crying in the stoller to the left)



Zach and Ryder loved swinging.



Zach was def. the explorer when we first got there. Cade and Ryder were taking it slow, a little set back by the huge step to the wood chips.
