the first get-together of life-long friends...

....though Lily was a bit of a blur since she's a girl on the move now! (Oh, Julia, I am praying for you girl!) And can you believe that this is the only picture I took of my entire afternoon with Julia and her kiddos? Sheesh! Ah well, hopefully there will more visits in the not-too-distant-future.

In other Sophia news, we've been hearing our first little laughs the past few days! Not belly laughs, or even giggles really, but a little "eh-He!" when she gets tickled or gets a piece of clothing swooshed in front of her. *happy sigh*

lil' shopper

So.....Sophia loves to shop! We ended up splitting up the costco/macy's trip into two days, since apparently costco is closed on memorial day. Who knew? Each time, she contentedly looked around at all the things around her and grinned her biggest grins at the salespeople. :) Thankfully, nobody tried to touch her hands or face this time. (Why do people do that? Seriously! It's not ok for grown-up strangers to do that to each other - same goes for baby strangers!)

Off again to Maryland tomorrow for a bridal shower for Julie-soon-to-be-Keltonic...
