A Steamy Day

Recently we met up with my friend Amy from Missouri, who is visiting Fort Lauderdale while her husband attends a conference here. Amy and I were pregnant together, but Malena decided to make a grand entrance three months early, so she and Amy's Adam are actually three months apart.

We went over to my favorite park. It was raining lightly, and we set out on a nature hike. By the time we had looked at bugs and flowers and made a trip to the bathroom, the sun had returned and the park had become sticky and humid. We trekked back to the car with the kids (I won't lie, I selflessly carried everyone) and spread out a blanket under a tree while Malena and Adam filled up water bottles from the ladies' room and watered the grass.

Doesn't Emily have the best hair? I took a million photos of it so I could sneak up on Malena with the kitchen scissors and try to replicate it. Emily and Adam are the best kids ever, and I can't get over how sweet they are with each other. There was no beating over the head, hair pulling, purple nerples, or wedgies of any kind. (By the kids, I mean. There's no accounting for me.)

Great pics, I am envious of the meetup too. I never realized you two were due date buddies either.
Glad you had a good time. :)
