Friends: From "A" to "Z"

Matt and I have been blessed in our lives to have a large, close-knit group of friends. We've been friends with the same crew for over 20 years. It is hard to believe, but it is true. Thinking back to kindergarden, I can remember playing with another little girl named Amy and sitting next to her on the rug at reading time. Amy was probably my best friend that year. Matt's family often talks about a little boy named Billy who Matt was friends with in Storm Lake.

The boys are also blessed with friends. The boys met Asher and Zander at iCare...and wouldn't you know it that Asher and Zander are brothers who are almost the same age as Joe and Jack. Joe and Asher are separated by 8 months. Jack and Zander are separated by 2 weeks. The boys play well together - or as well as boys can play together without too much injury. One of my favorite things is listening to and watching Jack and Zander together. They've known each other over half of their lives, and they were the first to understand each other's language and attempts at communication. They are quite the team.

So here is to friendship...from "A"sher to "Z"ander.
