Prepare to Melt

A couple of years ago, my friend Olivia got married. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding - which was an honor and a beautiful experience. Then last summer, I went to her baby shower - actually, two of them. And then late last year, I had the honor of meeting little Ruthie for the first time. And I was so excited to find out they were passing through the area this week! Olivia and Ruthie had a little extra time, so they came over!

You need to understand how good of a friend Olivia is...for me to invite her to our home in its current condition. The mess is out of control - dust everywhere, furniture everywhere, one bathroom was unusable that night - all of it was such. a. mess. But I knew she wouldn't judge me, so we let her visit. :)

Little Ruthie...OH little Ruthie. What a DOLL!! Ryan and I made cinnamon swirl pancakes and lazy omelets for dinner, and while we cooked, Ruthie just chewed on a spatula.

When it was time for dinner, Ryan and I decided to give Olivia a break from Mommy duties, and we held Ruthie while we ate...so she could actually sit by herself and eat her dinner.

{Ruthie was helping the Pacers play there...hence the lack of full focused attention.}

Ryan loved her. And MAN did she ever love him! {Can't really blame her there, can I?} Look at these pictures:

She liked me too - even if I'm not quite as enchanting as my husband. :)

 

She's such a good baby and we had a great night getting to know her!! And it was so much fun to catch up with Olivia, after not seeing her for so long!

Thanks, Olivia and Ruthie, for visiting us and for loving us in our mess!!
