Mrs_F, Jeannkerri, CTBride and I all got together today (with spouses and children). We met at a great park where the kids got to run around, climb, and even splash in water. After the park we went to dinner where despite being well past bed time none of the children got us kicked out ![]()
It was really nice to finally meet Jean and her wife. I'm jealous that she and Mrs._F live close enough to each other to hang out.
Oh, and Henry, he is just the most adorable little man. I don't think his smile ever left his face! And his hair is to die for - so much and such a beautiful color.
And as always it was lovely to see CT and her family. My LO was happy to chase Rosebud around and 'chat' with her across the dinner table.
As usual my child ate every one elses food and left me exhausted
Hopefully we'll get to meet up again soon!
Re: AW: MA GTG
It was so fun too finally meet you and CT! Your LO is a doll! Her curls are to.die.for! And CT's brood is just breathtaking. Daisy's happy, calm demeanor, Rosebud with her piece of paper, confident as a 16 year old in her ruffled bathing suit, stomping through the water park and Sprout, very serious, leaning across the dinner table and stating 'you've got a baby in there' made my heart melt. And always smiling Henry, with his beautiful twinkling eyes, in his old man hat... never fails to make me smile
And obviously K too since one of the first things she wanted to talk about was going through with the IVF this cycle!
I think we should make it a seasonal 'thing'. We are all so close, it is a shame to let it slip by. and who knows, maybe a road trip to the Hall of Fame is in order!
Aw, that sounds just lovely!
We had a great time!
Little JB was so adorable walking all over the place like a little pro! (I can't believe Henry will soon be so sure-footed...) Daisy was absolutely precious. Rosebud is so full of joy and spunk - her smile is so contagious!! And Sprout was such a little man and so fun to chat with at dinner!
It was really fun to get to hang out all together. And I'm glad that jeannkerri's brush with what was basically parenting on steroids (Um, 3 toddlers, an infant and a kindergartner? That's enough to scare anyone!!) didn't leave you both running for the hills, ha!
We kept all the kids out past bedtime, and they did so well. I thought for sure we wouldn't make it through dinner without at least one full-fledged meltdown, but we did!
Here's a glimpse for those of you who couldn't make it!
We took over the swings:
Henry loved the splash pad!:
And finally, while I nursed Henry in the car right before we left, C ran over to a bakery to get me some dessert. She ordered one thing, and then was informed there was a $10 minnimum...lucky me!

We had a wonderful time as always
I was shocked my kids didn't melt down at dinner! which, of course, means they enjoyed themselves also! If you can imagine it, Hen is even cuter in person and just the calmest little guy ever. And i love it every time we get to see JB - she's awesome!
Jean - it was such a pleasure to meet you and your sweet wife. I cant wait for the future GTG when we get to meet your LO!!

S and I were SO, SO bummed that we didn't get to come up and join you! Sounds like you all had a fantastic time! I am so jealous!!
Please please let's plan to all get together again soon. I know Little Man and Peanut would LOVE to see CT's crew again and play with everyone, and I am dying to meet JB and Henry!

Oh, I'm jealous!! Looks like a great time!
Lets definitely do more gtg soon. I'm dying to meeting Two and Mrs_F and all the kiddos, and to see CT, N2A, TWB, Alison, etc again.
