Friends Amongst Friends

The forgotten part about having a new member of the family is the amount of love and fellowship that comes from friends and family. A simple "How are you?" or a prepared dinner goes far beyond what the giver knows. Those small gestures make a world of difference in the days and weeks after the arrival of the newest family member.

As the weekend comes to an end and the reality of heading back to work comes closer to me, the occasional friend dropping by makes the the transition easier.

The Longs, with their soon-to-be new addition Berkley, stopped by with Beckett in tow to meet his possible future girlfriend. By the way, it would be an incredible climax if those two ended up being husband and wife - but that is a LONG time down the road. Time will tell.

The Hedgepeths stopped by with half of Whole Foods under their arms. BBQ, dried fruit, flowers, spiritual guidance books, hummus, small-brew root beer, and a pizza will make the up coming week much easier for us.

To all the friends who have sent well wishes, stopped by in person, sent their love, said their prayers, and to all those that plan to in the coming days and weeks - Thank You. We are humbled to have friends that care the way you do.

We can not say it enough, thank you.
