Girls Out and About

I just realized that I never posted these cute pics!

We arrived back in California (after New Year), just in time to have an afternoon of lunch, shopping, gossip, and fun with Addie and Julie (and Derek too, although he tried to avoid the shopping and gossip part!).  It was so good to see them again!  It was nice to be able to catch up on the Woltil's exciting life in the Big Apple and for Julie and I to compare notes on internship, postdoc plans, and general gossip.  The day was much too short, and we are eager to see them again when they come back for Julie to defend her dissertation.  At that point, there will be a fourth member of the Woltil family, and we are excited to meet him too.  Then we'll get to see them again for the big GRADUATION!

Rebecca really enjoyed playing with Adelaide.  The other night, Rebecca had gotten some stickers in the mail that had different states on them.  When she pulled off the New York sticker, I told her the name of the state.  She immediately said, "That's where Addie and Miss Julie live!  Amember when we play with them?"  I think that is better than when Rebecca thought that Addie and Julie lived at Victoria Gardens (mall).  For months, every time we went there, Rebecca would ask about Addie.  Actually, she did that most any time we went to a mall at all, but especially VG.
