Sweet Girls and Sweet Fellowship
One of the things that is wonderful about being on the farm is the freedoms that you can allow your children. Melissa and I turned our sweet girls loose one of the days we were there asking them if they wanted to go on a solo adventure to pick wild flowers in the Ranger. Abigail has been learning how to drive it and was anxious to show her friend what she had learned. With wide eyes they said a most definite "Yes!" and before we knew it they were off. We both gulped and agreed that this was a small taste of what it will be like to send them off in a car together someday...yikes!! All was well and they had a wonderful time and brought back some gorgeous Queen Anne's Lace which they arranged in a beautiful bouquet for us! I know just yesterday they were four and in dance class together...my how the time does fly.

what a cool opportunity for you as a family to connect with friends then share life together. I will be praying your trip continues safely.

We are so thankful for these relationships. It is beyond a blessing that our kids can grow up with friends that they share fun and fellowship with.
A couple of days ago, while we were driving, Abigail brought up the current presidential election. She said that Emma had asked her who she would want to vote for. After a long discussion, they both agreed that they would be 'elephants' and not 'donkeys'.
Oh, to wonder what their future discussions will hold!
I am thankful that they swing happily between depth and dolls, between faith and fantasy. I know that their relationship is a part of their preparation for adulthood and beyond.
And I agree...one blink and they are half grown. It flies by so quickly, I hesitate to blink again.
