Always a blast...

You may remember this trip I went on shortly after our little A-man was born this past winter. My dear friend Delinda and I have been friends since our sophomore year in college. We lived across the hall from each other for 2 years (although I say we were already roommates during that time) and then lived as "real roommates" in an apartment our senior year. We never ran out of things to talk about...nor do we now! We have done such an amazing job of keeping our friendship strong and visiting each other, even though we live such a long way apart! I don't think more than one year of time has gone by where we haven't been able to see each other, and most of the time we have been able to get together 2 times a year! We are so blessed!

Here we are last August during one of Delinda's visits...both of us pregnant. I think I'm 13 weeks and Delinda is 8 weeks.
We had lots of plans for our visit this fall: pictures in leaf piles (or snow!), Delinda playing in the St. Kate's alum soccer game (maybe if it wasn't 30 degrees!), visiting friends, chatting, chatting, chatting, shopping, and of course our biggest time consumer was playing with our kids! Here we all are at St. Kate's on Monday getting a reprieve from the snow...this was the only pic D and I got of each other together!!

Olivia decided to give herself a bath...not quite what I had intended. :)

The bugs in the tub!

Can't wait for New York, Delinda! We're planning a summer trip!!
