Trip to Dallas to See Lexi & Isabella

This weekend Caleb and I headed to Dallas to visit one of my best friends, Lexi, and her daughter Isabella who were in town from Nashville.  The last time Caleb & Isabella spent time together was around Caleb's first birthday, and I think it's fair to say they've changed a lot since then:


Caleb was excited to go visit and really had fun with Isabella, who he called Bella.  Isabella will be 2 in November, so they are about 7 months apart.  They played well together and we often caught Isabella copying everything Caleb did, both good and bad! Together they enjoyed sidewalk chalk, swimming, playing cars and drawing on Isabella's easel.  It was such a blessing to see our children together and to see them form a friendship.  I feel fortunate to have such incredible girlfriends who love me well, love the Lord and are fantastic Mommas to their sweet babies!  This is truly a special phase of our lives to share together and for that I am grateful.

Time for sidewalk chalk!





Of course Caleb kept getting distracted with spinning the trash can wheels. Yuck!

I'm thinking Caleb will love to look back at these pictures and talk about his road trip with Mommy to visit Isabella and Lainey! It looks like you all had a great visit.
