Our last playgroup.....



I knew this was going to be a sad day. Never did I realize I would make such a great group of friends. I know we'll stay close, but i will really miss seeing them almost every day for months. It has been so wonderful watching the babies grow together. All of us have learned from each other and I am a better mom because of them. They threw us a "going back to work party" with a cake ( even though my head was chopped off) and a photo album.


Thanks for teaching us...........


Jodi,Olivia & Sydney: your mom is supermom, when in doubt swaddle, to never complain about having 1 baby ( two is MUCH harder), and ALWAYS being there for me . My day never felt right if we didn't talk. I knew we would be bff.


Keri & Sophia: We would have never had anything to do if you didn't organize it ( you're the best President and friend), Sophia being the happiest baby ever, your infectious laugh and of course your JUG ( with those perfect turkey sandwhiches)!


Janelle & Rylee: Always having the cutest and best toys/clothes/pillows/blog/pretty bows...you inspire us. And how to always remain calm and patient ( even with all the traveling!!). I always fet as though rylee and leah were going through the exact same things!


Ana & Madelyn: Never met someone as genuine as you...you taught us that even when you are faced with obstacles there is always something waiting for you that is beautiful and wonderful if you keep trying.


Amy & Noa: to find our spirituality ( thanks for my hebrew name, elesheva) and always having the best advice. We'll never forget that when ever mommy was REALLY stressed out , you always stepped in to make it better.


Ali & Layla: we found our holistic side in you ( thanks for the yoga and always encouraging us to be healthy in our mind and body). Layla you were always a great yoga instructor as well. Thanks for never getting frazzled, it encouraged me to slow down.


Melissa & Will: You guys were the first one's we spoke to ( besides Jodi but that doesn't count) and made us feel welcomed at your new playgroup and walking. I always thought well she's cool , it can't be that bad. Will you are a stud with your "popped collars" and plaid pants! defaintly the preppiest baby on the block.


Casey & Rylee: Thanks for making me laugh every week. You two are the most chill people and we were always inspired by your creative talents and easy going. Rylee is "superbaby" and will be jumping out of airplanes and landing on her feet by 18 months.


Leah & Pike: It was so cool to add another boy to the crew and Leah you are just kickass, fighting for everyone's rights, i love it. my leah has a big name to fill!!


Yana & Sophia: I always admired how you came from such a far away place and fit right in. I still never want to stand next to you in a picture!!


Emma & Evie: For being one of the nicest people i've met. It felt good to another mommy going back to work where we can compare notes.!


Elizabeth & Isabelle: It was helpful to hear you stories about your daddy and what we could learn from that.
