Friends

A couple months ago, our life group had our annual fall camping discussion. (Yep, it took that much advanced planning to get us all in town on the same weekend!) But now that we're Shaffer-less (miss you guys!), we have a whole lot less motivation...

And boating and cheesing, smiling and piercing straight to your heart with blue eyes and blond hair, growing and walking oh so carefully around the edge of the pool waiting for the ball to be thrown back to you, buddy-ing and hugging. Oh. And it's also for jamming when you find strawberries for...

We have some really great friends. Friends who come to play and chat, encourage and laugh. We're so thankful to have toys to share and friends to share them with. Oh. And friends to shoot with. Always more fun to pull the arrow stuck in your garage out when friends are around. ...
