Gage makes friends...

One of my oldest and dearest friends, Amanda (Hipsher) Fox, was in town recently with her daughter, Avenly. It was so sweet for us to see the little ones playing so well together. Generally speaking, Gage did pretty well sharing his toys and being a nice host :) and Amanda and her husband, Aaron, said that it was one of the first times they had seen their daughter so interactive and engaged with another little one about her age. It was a strange feeling for me that day to realize that my dear friend had a child that I hardly knew; and, likewise, I have two children that she knows best from my descriptions of them on the phone or here on my blog. Oh, Amanda, how I wish that you guys lived closer and that we knew each other's kids better and that they knew each other. You are missed, and I treasure our visits when you're home.
