welcome new baby!

my darling friend lindsay - a friend i've cherished since i met her in fifth grade - is a new mommy! sooner than expected (10 weeks sooner), her little boy kyler dillon arrived today via c-section after finding out she had developed HELLP in recent days (similar to pre-eclampsia). luckily her levels stayed controlled enough that they allowed baby kyler to stay put for another 24 hours. mother and baby are doing well and everyone is exhausted but thankful for his safe arrival. i can't wait to meet the little bug - hoping i can make a trip to see them all while i'm home in february. yippee for new babies and for my friends getting to experience the magic of motherhood. congratulations, friend-he is so beautiful! i just want to kiss that sweet little nose!

our last day with tommy

what a great day we had with petey and tommy on saturday while shannon and greg enjoyed watching the rose bowl from the 50 yard line. sounds like they had a wonderful time and we so enjoyed watching those boys play together all day long!

best buddies sharing the chair - a new favorite toy

rocking the horse 'tetonka' together

having a lovely gourmet lunch

 

first time for both on the teeter totter swing - they were able to hang on surprisingly well (although petey did end up in the mulch once, ouch!)

love having these boys together!

slow down petey - or tommy, let go!

they LOVED their wagon rides, chattering back and forth the entire time

see you in a few months, buddy!
