Playgroup friends

 We brought some cupcakes the next day to our playgroup to continue Penny's birthday celebrations.

We have been so blessed by our playgroup. In the fall of 2003 a lovely lady in our church invited some first-time and about-to-be first time mothers to her house to chat and get to know one another.
At that time there were two babies and six moms. We had pleasant conversations in the quiet.

These days there are eight mothers and thirty-one kids.

Over the years people have moved away and others have moved here and joined our weekly meeting. Two years ago we had to split into two groups to meet in the winter. We meet at parks as long as the weather allows so that we can be together but we are currently too many people to meet at a single house. It's been such a gift to have these people around us all these years to share our lives.
