A Tribute to my Girls!

It was about this time two years ago that me and 3 other girls had our first babies! We got together shortly after and became inseparable! I love these girls with all my heart! We have also had two additions to the group! We did so many fun things together, getting together at least once a week! We would cook, sew, go to lunch, go shopping, watch movies, watch the kids play, swap stories, go shopping, cry together, laugh together, watch our kids grow...

At first, the kids just sat there and slept! =) Quite frequently we would go walk around the mall and spend a good chunk of our time in Motherhood Maternity feeding the babies.

As the kids grew up we started doing things geared more towards them... going to the zoo, a park, the treehouse museum, playing with toys, but we still got together once a week! It was my favorite day of the week and Ian's too!

I have sooooooo many cute pictures of the babies together! They are Ian's best friends!
And the moms are mine!

This is the original 4! It was sooo nice to have friends in the same situation as me... I learned so much from them and we were always there for each other! I miss them sooo much!

This is the 6 of us! It was quite the lineup when we were our and about! People gave us funny looks as stroller by stroller by stroller came by! We didn't care... we were just happy to be together and out of the house!

Our kids learned so much from each other as well! Together they learned how to share (although I think it is in the nature of a 2 year old to not want to share), how to sit up, how to crawl, how to walk (yes they all did walk!), they learned to throw tantrums to get what they want!

They loved to play together!! Now, three of us have another baby, two of us are pregnant and the other one is baby hungry =) We will always remember the good times we had and the love and support we had in our hard times! These friends are irreplacable and I will love them forever!

Thank you for EVERYTHING girls! I love you!

What a blessing it is to have friends that will get together once a week. That is really hard to come by. You are truly blessed! Being a mommy is a hard and lonely job and we need all the help we can get! I am glad you have friends to help you through.

I have looked at this post a million times and can't believe I never left a comment. I loved all the really nice comments you left for me. I miss you so much. I already wrote November 20th on the calendar. I can't wait to see you guys. We have not even gotten together since you left. Sad I know. Summer is crazy I guess. You need to update. I want to see what your world looks like. Thanks again for all the nice posts. They made my week.
