Saturday we were able to spend a little time with one of my best friends since we were in preschool. Her son Tyler is a few months older than Ensley but they have lived in New Mexico for the past two years and have just moved to Michigan so we don't get to see them enough. It was fun to watch the kiddos play together.
Then we went by my old pharmacy where I started my career as a cashier after school that turned into the profession that I love now as a pharmacist. It was good to see some of the girls again. I look back and wonder if they hadn't been so good to me would I have followed the path of pharmacy...who knows?
The rest of the afternoon we just played with MeMe and PePaw or "Paw" as Ensley calls him. We are so blessed to have such great grandparents all around for sweet little Ensley. Saturday night Ensley had her first taste of MeMe's spaghetti and corn on the cob....yummy, she ate good that night!
Sunday morning we drove to the boot heel to meet little Miss Harper. One of my dearest and best friends from college had her first baby on December 22nd and we got to meet her and visit with the new mommy and daddy a little while. Ensley didn't like Mommy holding another little baby...I guess we will have to work on that before we decide to have another little one. However, mommy liked holding a little baby. As I looked at her sweet little sleeping face I couldn't believe how much Ensley had grown and changed in such a short period of time. And it was hard to believe only 16 months ago Ensley was that little. Man time flies.
We decided to swing by Lambert's on our way home...mmmmm, never a wrong choice. Ensley was so much fun to watch while we stuffed our faces. She had a sip of our sweet tea, and then there was no fooling her. I tried to give her water to her in a Lamberts cup but nope she wanted mommy and daddy's "juice". She liked the okra, macaroni & tomatoes, green beans, rolls and sorghum. She became big buddies with the sorghum lady ;). When they started throwing rolls our direction she raised her hands up in the air as if she'd been there before. It was priceless.
When we set the GPS to take us home we realized we would be driving near some more precious friends we had not seen in a very long time so we called them up and were able to visit with them for a while and meet their sweet 4 year old daughter whom we had never met and see their handsome son whom we had not seen since he was Ensley's age. It is amazing to me how no matter the span of time between visits with true friends you can always pick back up where you left off. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our New Year's weekend with so many loved ones.
