Melt Down

Lindsay and I have been friends since  my senior year of high school. We lived together for a bit in college and have shared in many of life's milestones. We were both engaged within the same week. We were bridesmaids in the other's wedding, just 6 weeks apart. We found out we were pregnant about 8 weeks apart. And in 2011 we gave birth to our first born children just 3 weeks apart.

Last weekend Lindsay, her husband Jamie (who is also Michael's fraternity brother) and their sweet baby girl, Zella drove from KY for a long weekend in VA.We were so excited to get to spend some time with the kiddos together!

On Saturday, after a nice long nap, we put the kids in their swimwear and let them play in the yard with the baby pool and water table. The grown ups were so pleased that the backyard was shaded and with the nice warm breeze blowing, we were quite comfortable. We gave each of our soaking wet kiddos a yummy popcsicle to enjoy. Everyone seemed to be happy to have a treat.

Until they got cold! Zella and Wil looked at one another and began to cry. We kept saying "what's wrong? You both have a popsicle." and tried to help them. They kept looking at each other as if to say "We're still mad, right?"  THEN we noticed they were shivering. Between the wet bathing suits and frozen goodies, they were FREEZING!

Man, we're good parents! ha.

 We had a wonderful time with our friends and can't wait to spend more time with them again when we visit KY in December!

Daddy Turns 30!

Yesterday was Michael's 30th Birthday. I joked with him that he has finally grown into his age. Since I met him 11 years ago, I've often heard how he has always been 30 years old.
We took the day off together to relax and enjoy a kid free lunch out. Then picked up the little man from school a little early to buy daddy a balloon (Elmo, of course) and enjoy pizza, presents and cake!
