Elizabeth has a new friend at school named Ellie, and we were invited over to Ellie's house for a playdate. It was such a breath of fresh air to spend time with Ellie and her family! Ellie had a beautiful home, but it wasn't "perfect," or decorated out of a Pottery Barn catalog, or lavish. All around were signs of Ellie and her brother and sister- pictures, art projects, the fingerprints of children, both literal and figurative, were everywhere, just the way I like it. Their home wasn't stuffed with toys, but there was plenty to do. In the back yard was an amazing tree, just perfect for climbing. The children had lots of fun running around the back yard, and then later putting on a "show" for us. It was really wonderful to spend time with such a lovely family, and I hope we can have Ellie over to our house soon.
