Friend Time

It was so much fun to get to see our friends in Georgia over the weekend! Though Lynnette and I grew up near each other, the last many years have landed us far apart geographically and unable to see each other on a regular basis.

The number one question we got OVER AND OVER this weekend was "So are you two sisters?" I think every person at the baby shower asked - and a handful of people we ran into while out on the town, too. I'm sure I have no idea why....

It's all in the hair.

And ohhhhh that sweet baby girl. I just couldn't get enough of her cuteness. I wore my thankful shirt on purpose for the day I met her, because I can't even tell you how many prayers went into her little life and arrival. Thankful indeed. This was the very sort of moment that Lynnette and I used to dream about when we were little. To hold her daughter ranks right up there with one of those moments that will be treasured in my mind for all time.

Friday evening, Mark and Lynnette took us to First Friday in Marietta, Georgia. Selfie...party of five!

(My sister wanted to know why Mark wasn't wearing a coat and Ryan was dressed for a ski trip. HA! Well, Mark got his coat, eventually, and Mark also has hair.)

We had fun finding some shopping treasures.

And we had pizza!

And formula!

And coffee!

Saturday morning, we went out for coffee again, because one can never go out for coffee too many times. I'll tell you more about that coffee outing in another post, though, because it was part of our monthiversary fun!

We took family photos for Mark and Lynnette, and I haven't had the chance to edit them yet, BUT! Ryan took some fun behind-the-scenes shots.

I also did photos at the baby shower - and those are on the editing list too.

But while Lynnette and I went to that, the guys attempted an escape room.

After they "escaped" and the baby shower was over, I sneaked in one more baby snuggle and we got on our way back home.

I am so grateful for this time we had, brief though it may have been!
