Thank God for friends

I mean that whole heartedly.  I truly am so thankful that God has given us the gift of friendship. Community. Doing life together. Friendship.  It's a beautiful thing.

We just had our second annual small group pool party.  Let me clarify that the men and women are in separate small groups.  Otherwise, this would not be considered a small group but a small army Bible study instead!  
We compared some photos from last year (although I don't have them) and we all get a kick out of how much our group continues to grow as we all keep growing our families.

We went from 4 babies last summer to 8 babies this summer.  Next summer, there will be even more children!  Love that we're all in this season together.  I can't wait to see how our friendships grow and blossom in the years to come through the ups and downs that life inevitably brings.

Here's a few photos of our cutie pie babies and our group of dear friends.

Ella and Selah - is this not SO adorable?!  Let's hold hands!

Incredibly grateful that the Lord brought these people into my life (missing the Harts and Novosads)
