Special Visit

You know that feeling you get when you to talk to a friend that you haven't seen in a long time, and you just pick up right where you left off? Well, I had the honor of getting to meet a friend that I feel like I have known for a lifetime and it seemed as though we just picked up where we left off...

We got to meet our blog friends Landon and Kelly and the rest of their family, Scott, Mason, and Elijah from My Little "Son-Shine". It was a great day and we all had so much fun!! We were up vacationing in their neck of the woods and met in Plymouth, MA at a restaurant with a beautiful view.

My heart just melted to see our little boys sitting together in their high chairs and become fast friends.

They both have a great sense of humor and were quick to laugh together, clap excitedly, and bang on the drums on the table together.

Kelly has a great shot of the boys holding hands (we got the pre-shot) which was so adorable on her post.

Chris and I were talking after we left and we hope that one day Colin will have the kind of loving, caring and playful siblings that Mason and Elijah are to Landon. They quickly made Colin one of their own and left no bit of hugs, kisses, and high-fives behind. Kelly and Scott, your kids truly are special and we were so lucky to spend time with all of them.

Of course there was lots of kid swapping because I just HAD to get my snuggles with Landon. Ah, be still my heart...

This little boy is a love bug. He snuggled right up to me and gave me an endless amount of smiles and kisses. He is just so cute, I can't get enough!!

Chris got his turn with Landon too...look at that hug!!

Of course, Colin had to say hi to Kelly and Scott too! I think our kids tell us a lot about people sometimes the way they react to them. Colin is in this phase right now where he will sometimes need time to warmup to someone before he will act like he normal hammy self. However, he must have known how special Kelly and Scott were because he warmed RIGHT up!

I think back a lot to finding out about Colin's diagnosis at birth and how much it affected Chris and I. At the time, I just couldn't look past my grief to see what was in store for us in the future. I wish I had known then that because of how special Colin is, we would meet so many special people in blogland and in person. I have now had the opportunity to meet my 2nd blog friend and again, it feels like we've been friends forever...

Kelly, it was so wonderful to meet you and your family, and especially your sweet little boy Landon...you guys are truly a special family and we are honored to have met you! I can't wait for your trip to NJ in the future (then, you'll definitely hear the accent...LOL).
