Another good-bye...

For the second month in a row there has been a going away party around here, a trend I sincerely hope does not continue! As much as I love having parties, I really hate saying good-bye to people! This time the party was for the Rosen's who relocated to Naples on Friday, all the way on the other side of Florida! We're really going to miss the Rosen's! Manda had her son, Joel, just 2 months after I had Tyler. (When I was pregnant with Tyler I had plenty of company, 8 other women in my ward were also pregnant!) We wasted no time scheduling our first play date, which involved the boys nursing (then spitting up on us) while we enjoyed some adult conversation. Our afternoon chats made the early months with a new baby much more enjoyable, and helped me maintain my sanity. We have had a lot of good times over the past 3 years, trips to the park and beach, countless get togethers, ward activities, girls nights, and more baby showers than I care to admit to! Now the boys are 2 ½ and they are also best friends! It's been fun watching them grow up together! Here is a look back at Joel and Tyler over the past 2 years…
