i was able to line up a few play dates with some dear old friends while visiting mn. i had a play date set up for the first monday i was in town, but d and i came down with some germy-germs. initially, what i thought was a runny nose due to teething, turned into a yucky-sounding cough by the time we were on the airplane; that was friday. by saturday, she was full-on sicky-icky. by sunday, i was clearing my nose, close to laryngitis and feeling rather crummy... but that didn't stop me from shopping with my girl, staci, at the outlet malls! so sunday night/monday morning, there was no way i was going to have friends over with their beauties and worry about sharing my germs. plus, one of my girlfriends was due to deliver her baby girl that wednesday. yeah, she was the last person that needed to get sick before holding her infant darling!
so, boo. bummed. what are the chances.
regardless, by thursday, dylan and i were well enough to splash in the pool and dance in the sunshine. erica has a beautiful home, with beautiful girls, and she's beautiful company. i didn't take nearly enough pictures (is that possible for me?!) because i was so caught up in watching them all interact. victoria and jack laughed at each other, played chase, searched for bugs, squirted squirt guns and played soccer ball. the babies lingered around each other, played in and around the water and got cuddled on by us mamas.
erica and i have known each other since elementary school; were close in high school, lost touch and reconnected, and now, it is so sweet to still feel that closeness with so much distance between us. we had all our babies fairly close to each other. pregnant at the same times. jack is older than victoria, but marlee is older than dylan. it's just a shame our zip codes don't start with the same number...
