Kids are really better at putting their feelings into words than adults. Anne, Trisha and their families have really become our extended family since we have moved to Texas. Our families mesh perfectly, the husbands get along great and are actually friends outside of our "couple friendship" and the kids love to play together. Whenever we go somewhere Jack wants to know if Derek and Lily are coming, most of the time they are; but he is so disappointed if they aren't. At least twice a week he comes to me and says, "I have a great idea, let's invite our friends over for dinner!" I really feel lucky to have such wonderful friends!

i love the fact that my close friends and their families are really like having an extended family. our kids are best friends, the husbands all get along great. it's how i grew up, too. i'm so happy that my children will grow up in that kind of environment.
thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
i'll be back...i can relate to a lot of the things in your blog!
that's really cool. since moving here a little over a year ago i have yet to make good girlfriends. i have a few friends who i do things with and one that i share most everything with but i miss my REALLY good BFF girlfriends. i need to make more of an effort in my friendships and be open to truly connecting with people.
So nice to have people around we can count on, isn't it. We don't have much family around and are really starving for it. In the process of building our own. Nice to know it works.
My closest friends all live about a half hour away!! How cool that you have friends close by that you can hang out with all the time like that. It definitely is extended family.
