That funny little girl


It's been an insane last few weeks and for that I shall blame my tardiness in posting. Tonight is the first night I've sat down and caught up on things on my computer. ~Sigh~

As we close in on Madeline's 2nd birthday (Is that even possible? Really?) I find myself looking more and more at her newborn pictures. I remember my sister saying, "They're newborns for such a short time." It didn't register at the time, but it has proven so true. The days are long but the months are short. They go from farm fresh babies like above to little people who ask to talk to their little friends on the phone!!

I recently had the wonnnnnnnnnnderful luxery of attending a Girls Night Out with some of my Momma Friends. We went and saw Mamma Mia! and ate at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so much fun to be out with them all and cram about 6 months worth of conversation into as many hours. The food was sooooooooooooooooooooo good and I left with belly and heart both full.

It was my first exposure to this musical and the girls on either side of me were kind enough to help me with the plot and provide me with napkins during the unforewarned excruciatingly sad parts.

It made me feel lucky to have such wonderful friends to whom I didn't have to explain why I was crying and with whom I could, for the first time, close down a restaurant.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to the movie, but it was great chatting with you at the restaurant later. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful support system in the girlfriends that we have. Smooches!!

What a great post! I am sorry I missed the event (mama brain over here totally forgot about it) but I am glad you had a fun time...such a great support group, isn't it?
