Fun with friends....Now and Later!

I could not resist taking a photo of these two girls! Eva, Jaden, Tessa and Ella recently had an evening of non-stop play! The four of them played really well! Jamie and I enjoy watching them play, as they get older, they are all playing together now and it is never a dull moment! Especially when Kevin brings home treats....no surprise there, they all cheer when he walks in the door!
We could't help but reflect on seeing the two girls, now 5 and 4, calmly coloring and chatting. Meanwhile, Jaden and Ella were playing in the living room. "Just think Jamie, in 10 years or so they will be begging us to let them go out somewhere, then they will be asking for the keys....and then...." Could that be?...in 10 short years...how time flies!.... How the priortities of a Friday will change in time! What will really be intersting is if it is Tessa and Jaden asking for the keys!?!?
We both took a huge deep breath and took in the moment a bit deeper, and enjoyed the simplicity of two sweet girls, in their braids, coloring and writing notes....ahhh....the simplicity of the moment!
Later years will bring on new moments, experiences, and journeys. There is true value to a true friend to walk with you through life!... at the age of 5 &4, 15 & 16, 30 something, and beyond, I never lose sight of the value of a true friend! A true treasure!
Look at how much they are growing....
