New Friends!

We have new friends! Bella Art Girl and Travelin’ Nan came to visit. They contacted me a short while ago wanting to know if I would be interested in meeting. After spending time reading each other’s blogs, we felt like old friends and didn’t stop chatting for hours. I’m sure we could have kept it up for much longer, but two little ones needed naps.Travelin’ Nan brought her son, Evander. Levi and he took off playing. Bella Art Girl brought her two adorable daughters, Lily (above) and Wilder. It doesn’t get much cuter than this:

I am used to rough and tumble boys dressed in blues and greens. I felt like I had entered fairy land. Wilder is like cotton candy. The tiniest piece of beautiful pink fluff.
My boys were enthralled. Leif looked like a sumo wrestler next to her. Hard to believe he is only 4 months older! I don’t know that they have ever seen a pink tutu before. Fascinating. Boy clothes are so boring.
We had a lovely picnic and talked homeschooling, decorating, blogging, Poet’s Garden, photography, and family. Bella Art Girl threatened to post all her ‘unedited’ photos of myself and the house. We laughed about all the things around here you’ve never seen in pictures… Her blog will probably shout ‘Mt. Hope ~ Exposed!’

Ladies (and kids!)~ Thank you for the wonderful visit. I’m so glad you came. We’ll have to do it again soon.
