Photos, As Promised

Our visits with Monica and Claire were wonderful. We all had a great time watching the girls together and they interact more with each visit. All three girls seemed very comfortable with each other and us moms had a great time watching them and catching up on things. Unfortunately Shea and Caia were under the weather for the first week of Monica and Claire's stay in the city so they couldn't join us for the first few get togethers, but thankfully we did all manage to meet at Shea's once she and Caia were feeling better.

We also had the chance to meet Monica's mom, Mary, and thanks to her for having us over to her house for tea (I now have a new favorite tea!). I was pretty surprised to find out while chatting with Mary that she knows some of my relatives! It really is a small world.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite photos of the girls. It's hard to pick just a few so once again this has turned into a two-part post.

Claire's grandma has all kinds of great playthings.

Between playing with Claire and all the cool stuff,

Bryn had a blast while we were there.

I love the kissy shots!

Cute as can be, even from the back.

"' Sup, dude?"

I really hate having my picture taken but I make exceptions when I have a special little girl on my knee.

Monica, Claire, Bryn and Girard.
