Let the sun shine in

More pictures to share from Rhea's visit last week. We saw BIG trees, funny farm animals, and generally had a good time.

It's been a while since I've gotten to spend much time with Rhea, which is a shame. As far as I can tell, she's my oldest friend that I keep in regular touch with. We tried to figure out just how old we were when we met, but the closest we could get was "about 8", since that was when you could start riding. We met at the barn and were "barn brats" for many years. We always laugh about how she was actually taller than me when we first met. We even have a photo (somewhere) to prove it. Notice how I politely try not to tower over her too much in pictures. ;)

Molly had a great time with Rhea when she was here, and Rhea did a really great job of helping her feel comfortable - she spent the first hour or so here just hanging out with me and letting Molly observe.

In other exciting news, I talked to my east coast pregnant friend today, and, well, by the time you read this she may no longer be pregnant! As of mid-day today she was well into labor and seemed to be doing fantastically. Of course, her partner was a little perturbed by my enthusiasm, but soon enough they'll be parents and I'm so so excited for them. Here's some positive thinking for the DeBoyd's!
