Kennedy's first friend

My friend Jennifer Sawyer and I were pregnant at the same time in 2004... both of us sharing our aches and pains, questions about motherhood, and strange food cravings. Jennifer had Abby on April 15 - Happy Birthday Abby! - and just a few months later on July 30, I had Kennedy. They have been friends ever since.

2004

They went to pre-school together in Carrollton, Texas at Primrose. We have hundreds of pictures of them celebrating holidays and birthdays together. I would babysit Abby so Jennifer could have date night with her husband Charlie. She would do the same for me and the girls really enjoyed having the playdates!

And even though we moved to Shreveport over two years ago, Jennifer and I try to get together so the girls can remain friends. It is hard to believe that Abby and Kennedy are turning five this year and in just a few short months, they will be starting kindergarten!

For Abby's 5th birthday, Kennedy and I took a quick girls trip over to Frisco to see the Sawyer family... including the always-rambunctious dog Rosco (another common bond - our dog is Roscoe, too), and the testy cat Grendall. Kennedy, as always, was deathly afraid of both. Jennifer and Charlie hadn't changed a bit since the last time we saw them. And Kennedy and Abby picked up right where they left off... playing in the toy kitchen, dressing up, running around, occasionally crying because one of them hit the other one. Time is really flying by!!
