Friends and such

5 years? Had it really been that long since I'd seen my dear friend and college roomie, Amy? It had. It was entirely too long! Amy and I met up last week with our families halfway in between Columbus and here at the outlets. It was a great place to meet. The moms could shop and the kids could play on the playground they have there with their daddy's. It was like old times, except we now have post kid bodies and kiddos running around. We laughed, talked, talked some more, ate. It was just like old times, but entirely way too short of a visit. We vowed that never again would we go 5 years without seeing each other. I hope that's true! Love you Amy!

It was fun to have our kiddos meet up. Amy has the most adorable little boy, Noah. Isabel was fond of him and wondered why her visit with her new friend was so short.

Over the weekend "our" Laura got engaged. We are so excited for her and Josh! Not to mention, Isabel is thrilled to be the flower girl at their wedding, even though she has no idea what that really is. If anyone has any flower girl practice tips let me know.

Speaking of Isabel, when did my little girl all of a sudden start to look like teenager? I do love her spunk...for now:)
And then there's Ana...Mess maker, mess maker, make me a mess. She has been the best little mess maker lately, wherever she goes. I remember my parents saying Hurricane Candace came through my room when I was a kid. I think Ana might take after me.

Who me? Ana's mess in the kitchen...

Ana's mess in her room...

pretty much with anything, anywhere, she makes a mess.
