Far-away friends

Many of my firends live far away.  Or maybe it's that I live far away from them.

We share as much as we can through phone calls, emails, blogs, and most of all, prayers.

While I'm thankful for all the ways I can stay in touch...there is nothing like a good ol' face-to-face visit.

I relish my (much too short) visits with them and miss them even more when they're over.

This past week, we were treated to a wonderful visit from Amy & Lucy!

It wasn't that we did anything super duper special...

it was just so great getting to share a bit of our daily life with them,

 getting to talk and talk without having to get off the phone, and getting to see our children play together.

What a wonderful time.
