Nate and Izzie

It's not just Michaela who's found a new BFF - Lexi's younger sister, Izzie, and Nathanael are two peas in a pod. Nate has finally found a friend who's as active, as full of beans, and as always bare-footed as he is. Lexi and Izzie's mom, Sarah, is quickly becoming one of my very best friends. With kids so perfectly matched, perhaps it was inevitable. :D

Missie and Lexi

This gorgeous picture of Michaela and her new BFF, Lexi, was taken by my good friend Josiah at a picnic with friends yesterday. Lexi is the daughter of another good friend, and though she and Michaela only met two weeks ago, they're already joined at the hip. Though there was a ton of great food and fun games, the second we arrived at the park, Lexi and Missie disappeared, off to explore the park's streams and small lake. This is them returning from their mini adventure. You probably can't tell from the picture, but they're actually soaking wet and covered in mud after "accidentally" falling into the lake. Michaela is so like me as a child, wouldn't you agree Mom? ;)
