A visit with friends



























On Wednesday, we were privileged to get to visit with Julie and Adelaide, who were back in California for Thanksgiving.  We got together for a reunion episode of lunch-shopping-coffee at Victoria Gardens.  We haven't lost our touch at chatting and shopping and toddler-wrangling.  It was so cute to see Addie and Rebecca together again!  Addie has grown and changed so much!  She is a girl on the go now, and she was ready to go out the door wherever we happened to be!  Even better was her way of getting a kid to move out of her chair at Gymboree.  She is a believer in nonviolent forms of persuasion.  She didn't push him or try to force him out of her seat.  She just stood right in front of him, got in his personal space, and proceeded to give him the stink eye until he relinquished her chair!  Rebecca was quite concerned about a little girl who tried to push Addie, so she tattled to me (also a believer in nonviolence!).  We had hoped to get together again on Sunday, but family obligations ruled.  So we'll have to carry on via email, text message, and phone calls!  Maybe we can get the girls to do a webcam chat sometime soon.

Our shopping wore our girls out!  (Please don't call CPS.  She didn't stay in the trunk.  It was just a convenient spot for a diaper change)
