Today we got to visit with a great friend and her twins! Mrs. C was a great friend of mine before I was married, but she moved to Texas for several years. Gotta love the military :). Now, the C's are back East!
We got up early, but it still took us quite a while to get out the door. We drove for an hour, and over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge before we got to our friends' house. It was an easy trip, other than the bridge, because I really hate driving on bridges. It wasn't too bad with Mikayla to sing with though.
Mikayla, Ian and Jillian are the same age and love to play together. Mikayla and Jillian are both very dominant personalities though, and sometimes had some power struggles. Even though we felt like we were constantly correcting them, they cried when we had to leave this afternoon.
It was great for me to catch up with Mrs. C some more too! I'm so grateful to have a good friend close to visit with. I have been praying for someone like her to talk to and encourage one another. The Lord really answers prayers!
While we were playing today, Calli took her first steps! She has been walking along holding the wall, the couch, chairs and anything that will help support her. Today she was standing while leaning against a bottom step...and she stepped out to walk to me!
When we got home tonight, I got the video camera out to tape her taking some more steps since Matt is missing this. I tried to keep her from walking too much so he doesn't miss too much, but once she got a little confidence, she started taking off. I think she will probably we walking on her own within a week or so now.
Today was such a great day of catching up with friends and passing time quickly while waiting for Daddy to return home. Thanks to the Lord for good friends!
