When her second child was born and he had colic I would hold him while she went grocery shopping so she could get a break. Moving away from her was the hardest part of leaving Michigan.
Somehow, despite how bad I am at keeping in touch with people, we have stayed close. We still talk on the phone. We even still get the kids together about once a year. She is the first person I call when I need to vent about the kids or Ian's long hours.
What amazes me is that the bond is as strong for the kids as it is for the grownups. They are so happy to see each other...

Loved the pictures from this post and the next of the kids all so darn happy. I'm sure you are, too! I'm trying to picture you hosting another family without a working kitchen, though! THAT is a sign of true friendship!!!
