You know the other day someone made a comment about how after they had kids all their kidless friends disappeared. I couldn't stop thinking about that comment. I guess being the only one of almost all my friends to not have kids I thought this was absurd. I value my friends and could never see myself just walking away from the friendship simply because they had added a little blessing to their life. I also realized that I didn't see each addition to my friends families as a nuisance but as a blessing because every time one of you adds another bundle of joy to your family I add another friend to my list. I value my friendships with my Little Friends as much as I do my grown up friends. I learn just as much from them, sometimes more, than from my grown up friends. So here is a tribute to my little friends.
To Ethan who I will always have a special bond with, who has taught me that time and distance know no bounds and who loves me just the same. Thanks little man!
And to Grayson I didn't have a picture that did you justice. Thank you for always being so darn cute and funny!
To Spencer and Natalie who taught me that twins doesn't equal double the trouble but double the love, joy and fun!
To Eli who melts my heart every time he says "I love you, LaLa."Addison who showed me that at 4:00am just holding a warm little bundle of joy will make all the lack of sleep in the world worth it.
Peyton - It isn't fair that you wink better than me.
My newest little friend Elizabeth! Who seems to be always pleasant and always game for an adventure.
I hope none of your Mommies and Daddies mind that I put your pictures here. Can't wait to hang out with you soon.

Cute Blog.
My perspective, Andrew and I haven't shut out our friends with babies perse but our time with them has defiantly diminished. Not because the kids were an annoyance or anything, but because being around them only further reminds us of our losses.
I wish things were different.

Of course I don't mind you using Peyton's picture - it's a darn cute one! I love that he has another honorary Auntie in his life. You, my friend, will make a great Mommy someday - soon I hope!
Love you!

What a cute blog Laura!!! You've always been so great with kids. How fun to check up and see how things are with you! Found your site through Olga's blog... :)
So glad you found me. I like checking your blog from time to time. Olga has sent so many people to my blog and I don't know where hers is. I will have to look into that.
