Today my sister Amanda came over with her two little ones, and our mutual friend Trish came, as well. We had a nice time together talking and it was great to finally share some of my coffee with friends! We went on a little walk, too, and I thought I would put a few of the photos here. . . . . .
Amanda took these two of me:
And then Trish took a few of Amanda and me. I’m so thankful that my sister lives nearby, she is such an encouragement to me.
This next one is my favorite. By the way, Amanda brought over her hair straightener today and I sat in a chair in my bathroom while she straightened it for me. It was fun and relaxing. I needed to spend some time with her today, and having Trish come was a blessing, too. I feel so good after a satisfying gab-session with some girlfriends!
Good to be Home 
Your baby bump is so cute!
I had such a great time I have not smiled that much in a long time you are always good for my soul. I thank God for you and our wonderful relationship! You are a great mother, sister, and friend and I needed to be with you today:)
PS your hair looks great! (I think I left my hair staightener at your house…I always forget something hahha)
Oh and lunch was the best!
@annamanda – Oh good, than I can use it again tomorrow! You left Nay-nay’s jacket here, too. It was in Caleb’s room. xoxo, Shan
Precious memories! I would really treasure a day with my sisters. It’s been 10 months since I have seen them. Glad you had a blessed and satisfying day!

Lovely pictures!
What a nice day you had with your sister and friend —
How fun!!! Both the 1st picture and the last picture are my faves. What a huge blessing sisters and solid friends are! I’m so glad you took the time to enjoy each other’s company! love, Gail
YAY FOR SISTERS!!! It is so special that you and Amanda have a real friendship; that is not always a given by virtue of the fact two people are siblings! So precious.The last picture is my favorite, too! You two are so beautiful, yet so different too! But I think I see some resemblance in your eyes – really lovely. LOVE YOUR BABY BUMP!!! You are looking just fantastic and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Love that last picture…definitely frame-worthy.
Sounds like a great day! Great pictures!
How nice to spend time with your sister like that & your good friend to. I love your hair. I got a straightner and have yet to use it. Are they hard to do? Such a cute baby bump you have!
great sister pictures!
awww! Look at that baby bump! :)I am glad you enjoyed a girl day with your sis & co. Its good for girls to do that isn’t it? We need that social boost sometimes.Have a blessed weekend!
Aww, sister time! How special. I have never lived close to any of my sisters since we married – yeeeaaars ago! If I remember pictures of your mom, seems like your sister looks a lot like her.
Sisters and friends and pictures and hair straightening…I must say it sounds like a great day!
Glad you were able to spend such a wonderful day with your sister and friend, what a blessing. I LOVE your little baby belly, too cute.
AWWwwwww, so glad you had a nice time with your sister and your friend. Your fav. pic (the last one) is mine too. I’ll hafta remember that pose. Very clear yet playful.
I too love your baby bump! When are you due?
hugs from NH!

You and your sister are adorable together! Esp. like the close up and the last one. Love the baby growing and your little guy reaching up.
How long did it take with the straightener? I have been thinking about getting one, but not if it takes like half an hour!
You are so blessed to have her near you!
@mymeanderings – It doesn’t take long, you’re supposed to move it down your hair quickly. Amanda’s glided right through with some steam (I think) and it’s better for your hair the less you heat it up. I haven’t bought one yet, but it’s on my list!
