Theresa and her kids have been a part of our lives ever since I was 9 months pregnant with Lucy and she was 7 months pregnant with Louis - we've been together for almost seven years through those pregnancies, subsequent miscarriages, two more pregnancies (John and Carmyn), life changes, house changes, toilet training, training wheels and no training wheels. She's like a second mom to our kids - one who as Sophie says, "She's different from you, she's more like 'outdoorsy'. I want to be a mom like her." If Theresa wasn't such a good friend, I might have taken offense to that. Instead, I think it's great. She's the mom who has the slack line in her backyard vs. a swingset, had a climbing wall in her old basement and now has a full-size one along with an ice climbing wall at the farm. She's the one who can teach Sophie the thrills of outdoor adventures while I sit on the sidelines cheering them both on. Aren't friends wonderful?!?!
