So….the photo a day thing isn’t quite working….. At least I am thinking about taking a photo a day… that’s lame, huh? 

Well, this photo and video if I can figure out how to upload it is of a wonderful day we had recently with some dear friends.  On Sunday, 2/3,  The Deans came for a visit from N.C.  and Tonya and her daughter Isabel and Emma and I joined them for lunch and an afternoon on the slopes. 

It was so absolutely adorable to see our six year old daughters hug and express their pure joy when they hugged eachother hello ….”it’s so nice to see you!” they said.  Friendship.  I am so happy that Emma truly “gets’” the value of friendship and feels it so emotionally.  Riley’s visit was something she looked forward to and is still talking about.  Having Riley made Emma’s transition to school so much easier.  It was heartbreaking to see them hug goodbye on that day Jess drove them from school to their new lives last year.  But, it’s so nice that they can pick up where they left off and have a great time playing, talking and giggling!    

 So, this Sunday’s little reunion was wonderful.  And…..drum roll……Emma decided to join her friends Riley and Isabel on the BIG slope and ride the lift for the first time!  This is quite a big deal for her and I was so so proud and happy for her.
