As a mother I want to be able to give my children all the wonderful gifts in life that God has given us. To grow and experience life as it unfolds. Something I can not give my children is friendship. Of course I am not only Sunshine's mother we are also buddies that will become closer friends as the years move on. The friendship I talk of here is a childhood friendship. A friend that becomes just as excited as she swings high on the tire swing. That giggles at little girl jokes. A friend that can spends hours picking flowers, playing house, feeding baby dolls and dressing up in fancy gowns along with sparkling plastic jewels. This is why Princess has been such an amazing gift to our Sunshine. These two girls are the greatest of friends. They met at our local home school group. Although Sunshine is a year older then princess they have tons in common. These photographs were taken in late August of 2009. Looking at them I see me and my childhood best friend. We shared an amazing bond of love and friendship. Thank you Lord for sending Sunshine this same gift...

friendship ... such a beautiful gift
It's so wonderful to see little girlfriends playing together.
I still remember my childhood friend, the pretend tea parties, the dancing... :)
we have a very transient life, living in the military, so having a childhood friend like i did growing up is one of the treasures of childhood that i am sad to know my kids probably will never have
So sweet! I can't wait to see Tayor with a friend like that someday.
Thank you for allowing us to see into your beautiful heart.
Blessings, andrea
Leslie, Im so sorry. Even friends for a summer is something you will never forget. I feel the same in some ways due to hs.
i grew up in a neighborhood with no girls my same age...it was quite lonely. really could have used a great friend like this. so fun!
Good morning, Your comment made my day ..... I've looked at your wonderful and loving pictures and feel almost that I would like to crawl into your family!
Lots of love

Just Jenn~
Truly precious. I love the way you write. You are so grounded as a mother and a Christian. Just lovely.
Your description of childhood friends brings back so many memories of playing "house, house" and "shop, shop"; sleepovers and midnight feasts; secret handshakes; shared notes; etc. *sigh* It feels like a lifetime ago and I'm only 28!
Thanks for the memory spark :-)
Special friends in our children's lives is so important. And a blessing that only God can bring. :) Love your pics here! The bonds of friendship are tightly woven by laughter and fun!
Thank you all so much for taking the time to comment. I see Jenn asked about the sicklys. Sad but we are still sick. Its really been a long one this time. Hoping by Mon we will be feeling better. If not we will have to go see the dr. Thanks for asking.
SO sweet! MyPrincess loves her some Sunshine too! You have to get well soon so we can come play again. And I can't wait for the warm weather to go do stuff together!
I know we are all ready to get together with friends in the sun...
