That makes them sound like a circus act, and while Kale does juggle, that's not what I mean. They are some of the most thoughtfully kind friends I have ever had the privilege of having and here's the perfect example of why.
Blythe and I have been having a hard time lately. She doesn't really want to be held by anyone other than me, especially when she's in a crowd. This made Easter weekend not very much fun. We were with family and she was yelling at everyone unless I was holding her.
I was complaining to Erin about it this morning. Just a short whiny email letting her know why I was being grouchy and not a very good friend. Then I went to check their blog and saw that Finn was having ear tubes put in this morning. He did great and they were back home very quickly.
This afternoon I went about my business running errands and got a message from Kale that they had left a package on our porch. I was expecting it to be some passed down toys for Blythe, which is always a treat and greatly appreciated. When I got home I went to get the package and 'lo and behold McCalister's Sweet Tea and cupcakes were on my door step!! So they have a child who had minor surgery this morning, I have a grouchy baby that I'm whining about and they're the ones leaving the most fabulous presents ever for me! Seriously, I can't think of anything that makes me happier than sweet tea and cupcakes. It made my day!!!
Kale and Erin never forget a birthday, anniversary, and now even just a bad day. They are always the first Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter card you get. They're amazing. I have no other way to explain it. We truly do not deserve their friendship, but I am constantly unbelievably thankful for it. I just wanted to give a big shout out to brag on them because as of this moment I have no way of repaying the wonderful gift from today.
Love you guys!!!
