Friends and Family

Last weekend was a very special weekend in the Farr house. Bobby headed to Plymouth to pick up Brenden and Bryleigh from their extended stay with MawMaw! We were so ready to have the kids back home and it was actually interesting to see that for the first time ever, the kids acted ready to return as well. We are so blessed to have MawMaw keep those 2 when we want/need her. The kids absolutely LOVE their time with her and we are able to enjoy each other's company knowing that they are totally safe and happy. Bobby really loved being able to head to Plymouth to squeeze in more time with his family before heading back to Durham with Brenden and Bryleigh. It was also perfect timing because Brooke had plans for the weekend as well.

On Saturday, Brooke headed to Burlington with Kelly and Tonya to meet up and enjoy an extended visit with Jenn. The girls typically try to meet up for dinner about once a month (if they are lucky), but this time they decided to do a little more. There was shopping, dinner, laughter, and lots of visiting and stories involved with this trip. They decided to get a suite at a local hotel and really make the most of this visit. It is such a blessing to have good friends no matter where they live or how often you get to see them. However, to still have friendships that you started years ago...that's a rarity.
Our special visits this past weekend only remind us of how much we truly love our family and friends. We cannot get enough time with each one of them and constantly thank God for the impact and influence that they have on our lives daily.
