Thomas and friends..

When we first moved into this neighborhood, I was worried about Thomas not having as many friends around that are boys his same age. Emma has lots of friends in the neighborhood and so Thomas is always surrounded by girls. 
Last year, his friend Gavin moved into the ward, up the road from us.
He and Thomas are the greatest of friends. They have fun playing and also fight and argue like brothers. HAHAHA! 
They are so stinkin' cute and I'm so glad Thomas has Gavin.
 

When Gavin comes over to play, there is always something mischievous going on when the two of them are in silence. For example; getting themselves soaked some how, peeing on trees seeing who has the greater aim (only happened once:), letting chickens out of coop and pouring chicken food in their water bowl, also making piles of chicken food all over the yard to lead chickens to various places (so they think), etc......

Here they are playing swords with the flags for outdoor games.

"Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!"


This was earlier this year. Thomas was just learning to write his letters and was able to write Gavin's name and draw him a picture. Boy, he was proud of himself. We were all proud of him.

Time to deliver. 
Check out Gavin's face as Thomas comes to deliver.



And there is Emma Scott; "Friend Emma."
Earlier this week, Thomas really wanted to draw a picture and decided to make one for his friend Emma, across the street. 
This is what he drew. He wrote something to her that included w's, i's, more w's, i's, and m's. 
I thought the drawing he made for her is adorable.
He was excited to go and deliver.
Looked both ways, crossed the street, and running up the driveway.
"Hi Mom."

 Emma's dad answered the door and told Thomas he would give it to her. 

Thomas, the good friend.
