Lillie Blue & Ms. Mia

We have lived in our quaint little neighborhood for almost 5 years. It was a big leap of faith for both of us. We both grew up out in the country. And for me that meant no friends for two whole miles!

I wanted a different experience for my girls. So we leaped, learned and have decided this is home. So with that said, this starts back to the first summer. I was walking around the block and low and behold right behind us is a family with a little girl about Lillie's age. Ok, so really this can be good or bad. Bad because in a neighborhood there can be hurt feelings, issues, or just plain moral differences. Good in the sense that there could be a playmate, a friend, even a lifelong friend possibility. So you bide your time and see.

Well lucky for us there is a fit. That cute little girl walking around her front yard in her diaper is now a cute little kindergardener and Lillie's closest friend. What is so awesome is they are so very different. Mia is soft spoken, always looking all cute and not bossy in the slightest. She comes over with a huge smile on her face and always gives me hug. My Lillie is a little bossy (ok, big time but you know you gotta love all their traits, right?) loves to wear sweats and tennis shoes, heck sometimes no shoes at all, and just may go the whole day without combing her hair.

I am not saying they are destined to be college roommates, but maybe.  All I am stating is that we are very blessed to have good friends. Whether you are 5 or 65 a good friend is hard to come by and you should relish in the goodness.

All it takes is a large stick and they will find something fun to do with it. The simplicity of childhood.

Ms. Mia. 

See, you can limbo with only two people. Cracks me up!
