Amigos

I've said it before, the best part about living in the Village was having so many great friends as your neighbors.  Hannah had so many cute little friends there.  She especially loved one friend in particular: Lauren Farrington, or "Yeeyen" as Hannah called her.  Lauren is 9 months older than Hannah and they have been attached at the hip since Hannah was about 18 months old.  Being a little older and a little less feisty than Hannah, Lauren has always been a good example for my little girl.  The two have spent hours on the playground involved in elaborate imaginative games that often involved singing, transporting sand around the playground or building "nests" in the grass.

Lauren's family is moving to Idaho this week and we are going to miss them so much!  Did I mention that Lauren's mom, Ali, was always a great friend to me too?  She was always inviting Hannah over for play-dates, sharing meals and lending a listening ear.  I think we talked about everything and anything during those long husband-less days.  I am happy for her that she gets to move on to the next stage of life now.
