Best Friends

I'm so thankful that Hannah has a best friend at such a young age. It is such a precious, unexpected and irreplaceble gift. She and Elijah love each other so much. "Ha-Ha" and "iJa-Ja" giggle when they see each other's pictures, ask for each other almost everyday and when they do get to play together they can hardly contain their excitement! Unfortunately, this also means that when it's time to part company they both dissolve into wailing tears cannot be comforted for many minutes!

This is truly a case of where God fills up your cup, presses it down and pours in some more to overflowing. The Norman's are beyond sweet-- they are generous, loyal, Godly, patient, thoughtful-to-a-fault beautiful followers of Christ whom we are so priveleged to call friends. It is no suprise to me that they have one of the most loving, gentlest, adorable little boys I've ever met. Hannah loves him, she loves Kristen and she loves Bart. We love them too. They are our family away from home and I just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU to them for being our friends, our comfort and such an amazing gift to our daughter.

Some recent moments the two have enjoyed:

Cooking for, and feeding a baby together.

Hanging out on the bean bag in cozy companionship.

Riding in style in Elijah's wagon!
