zoo day with BFF Emma

This is Adele's BFF, Emma. Sadly, I don't think Bre (Emma's mom) and I have any pics together but I consider Bre a really good friend as well! It's so fun to have girls 2 weeks apart. We met at Methodist Mom's group and she recalled today me asking her around the 4 month mark of our little girls' lives if Emma was sleeping through the night. She said oh yeah! And I just said, "cuss word," I was pretty much at my whits end back then! My friendship with Bre has grown through spending more time together and through a mom's bible study. I'm so glad that her and her husband joined our church and congregational community (I.e. Sunday school class) and that we've gotten to know them! So sweet to have friends that know the real you.

Pitkanen Shower

Below are some pictures of the baby shower that Crystal Vitullo, Courtney Black, LeeAnna Hungerford, Leslie Poole, Ashley Watson, Mandy Payne, Jill Bell, and I hosted.  It was at my house this past Sunday.  Cecile Gray, her mom (Cecile) and her grandmother (Big Mom) all came.  It was just snacks and presents.  That's how we do it in our group of friends.  No games - just talking!

Merri Ryan is due January 7th, 2010!  Benton and Cecile Gray Pitkanen are dear friends of ours the live on the other side of our street (Philwood Avenue) in High Point Terrace.  Luke and I have really enjoyed them since we have moved to Memphis.  They will always be dear friends of ours wherever they move.  Benton graduates medical school in May and will find out where he will do his residency in March.  I know they will not be in Memphis, but hopefully not too far away!  At least I will have a few months to hug on Merri Ryan :)

In other news: Luke finished recovering the chairs for the party...whoopee!!  Bench next :)

The Watson Visit

We all had a blast this past weekend spending time with our dear Watson family.  I had posted a while back they had moved to Jackson, MS.  They were in town for a wedding and lodged at the Coplin Commune.  Luke and I watched Greer both Friday and Saturday night as Geoff and Ashley went to wedding festivities....I ate it up!  Greer, almost 5 months old, is one of the best and cutest babies.

I am very sad to say that I somehow didn't get a picture of him.  Maybe it was because we were busy making him smile, eat, sleep, bathe, and do it all over again whilst watching over the other children (dogs) Webster (a puggle) and Pip (our pippet)?  haha.  I did, however, snap a few shots when he was sleeping the last night we had with the Watsons.  We had a great time with them.  We played scrabble and all piled on the couch (sans Geoff).
