Our Columbus Friends

Even though we knew we wouldn't be in Columbus very long we made some really close friendships. I love how easy it was to make friends and feel comfortable with these kids and their moms. We miss you all tons! Calder asks about his friends a lot and we frequently look at pictures of them.
These cute little girls are Grace and Alexis. I love their moms. They were the best visiting teachers and we sure had a lot of fun together. Anna (Grace's mom) helped me line out a running schedule so I can do a 5k at the end of June. She was also great at giving advice and just listening if I were having a problem or concern. She is so smart and genuinely kind. Daiane (Alexis' mom) made us homemade black beans from Argentina and is such a fun girl to talk to. She also throws AMAZING parties. I'm going to miss you ladies.
This is Amy and her son Will. They were our first Columbus friends and we have many great memories. Amy is such a relaxed mom (in a good way). She taught me that it is okay to chill and let your kid be independent sometimes. She was always willing to meet us at COSI or wherever we felt like going. Calder LOVES Amy and would often ask to hang out with her. I miss our weekly outings and I miss Amy.


This is Archer. His mom (Cassie) was my sewing buddy. We made the cutest stuff. She was also my shopping buddy. We bought the cutest stuff. Our boys were just starting to play well together when we moved. I'm really going to miss them.

Archer

Most of Calder's friends are older than he is. It just worked out that way. Calder does have a good friend named Archer who is quite a bit younger than him. It is so special for me to see him share and help a younger, smaller friend.

He likes to bring him toys, his binky and his sippy cup. I love it.

Calder at 1

About a month ago, when Calder and I were in Oregon, we met up with our friends Max & Danielle from Chicago. We had a great time together and had a marvelous dinner. Danielle was gracious enough to take Calder's 1 year old pictures. I have talked about Danielle's amazing abilities before. You can check out her last photo shoot for us here.

Danielle has this amazing ability to capture someone's personality in her photos. I love the facial expressions she caught that I see every day but don't happen that often with Calder. I love having the whole CD of pictures and could not possibly choose a favorite. This does make choosing one to blow up and frame quite difficult. I may have to do a large photo collage or something.

I'm so thankful for Danielle and her willingness to share her talents. And I'm grateful for Max and his encouragement of Danielle's talents. We greatly value their friendship and miss them tons.

You can check out Danielle's website for more information about her and to see additional photo shoots she's done. You'll love each and every one.
