Friends

The other day I was talking about how bummed I was that time was going so quickly, and I wouldn't have time to do all the crafty things I wanted to do for/with Fiona for Christmas (sorry Evie...you're still too young.  I tried wrapping presents with you today and you just ate wrapping paper and unraveled all my ribbon.)  One of the things I really wanted to do was make an advent calendar.  Today this came in the mail...and I cried...in the best kind of way.  There is no way I can express how much this friendship means to me, and I know too often I take it for granted.

Thanks, Emily. 

Allie and Kateri Visit!

Allie and my sweet God-daughter Kateri came to visit over Jon's birthday, and we had an awesome time!  My only complaint is that it was far too short!  The whole weekend consisted mostly of playing, eating and enjoying some adult beverages--for the adults, of course.

Jon enjoying life.

After playing so well together over the summer, I was so excited for Fiona to see Kateri again--and they did not disappoint! (minus some sharing issues Fi is currently having, but I can't help but cut her a little bit of slack with Evie getting into everything she plays with...it's just a phase, right?  right?!  With Leah thrown in the mix too, I have a feeling these crazy girls are going to be quite good friends. 

I don't think Jon could have been happier having his sister here...and me too!  Thanks for visiting, and come again soon!
