Auntie Brooke comes to visit!

Evie was really gentle with Jack and loved sharing. Jack was often hard to find under the pile of toys Evie put on him!

Jack's first slide and park experience.

Evie loves to go down the slide with you. She counts until you can slide down. Unfortunately, it is rather confusing as she only says the number two over and over again.

Buds and their babes--which kid belongs to which mom? It's a tough one!

New Pals

Yay! Brooke, Rob and Evie came to visit Jack (and Mom and Dad) for the first time over the Memorial Day weekend. It absolutely FLEW by and it was sooo much fun. On Saturday, Brooke and I hung out with the babies while Rob spent time with his best friend and Daddy had a much deserved boys' night out. On Sunday, we went to the park and Jack slept through the whole thing. That night it was Mommy's Night Out as Brooke and I grabbed dinner and a couple of drinks while the boys watched the munchkins. On Monday, we returned to the park and Jack was awake this time. He got to go down the slide for the first time with Mommy and didn't really care too much either way. He did, however, like the trees and watching the big kids play. I think he was pretty jealous of the big kids and wanted to run around. He gets a little frustrated with his limitations sometimes but, at the same time, loves to explore and move about however he can.

Mostly it was just great to see my friend! It's hard to believe that we have been friends for so long. One of the days, Brooke was making a sandwich for Evie and I was washing Jack's bottles. We just looked at each other and said, "Did you ever think we'd be doing this?" I really have loved each new chapter of my life and this is no exception. I love being a Mommy. I love spending time with my wonderful little boy. And I love sharing this whole Mommy experience with my best friend!
