Fun Times with [Old] Friends!

This is Elijah Brooks...

...the son of one of my sweetest childhood friends.

Erin and I started out in the nursery together and went through much of grade school. We spent many a Sunday afternoon at each other's houses eating grilled cheese (that was an after church staple) and playing the piano. We somewhat lost touch through college, but she's one of those friends that you don't have to talk to for years and you just pick right back up where you left off!

We were thrilled when Erin, Jay and Elijah Brooks moved back to Montgomery about 6 months ago. "Aaaa," as Elijah Brooks calls her,  has really enjoyed playing with him! He is a "mere" 18 months and almost popping out of his 3T clothes. He's putting Addie to shame! :) He will have outgrown her before we know it!

We went to play and have lunch with them last week. Addie of course loved his "playground!!!"

He is one serious tractor fan!

But always up for a smile!

...and of course what EB does, Addie wants to do too, but she did NOT want her picture taken!

The little girls slept most of the time right up until when we left at which point they both decided it was best to scream at the top of their lungs...the whole way home!

What I think I love most about Elijah Brooks is his sweet, tender heart! This picture of him just melts my heart! What a precious boy!

Thank you for having us Erin and Elijah Brooks! We always enjoy our play dates with you!
