leslie and brette came to town!

it's always so nice to be able to see leslie and brette (any cousins actually) and catch up on life and all that's going on in our lives.  we both have little babes that are 2 months apart.  so it's safe to say we had a lot of baby talk going on.  sorry brette, i still feel bad about how annoying that probably was.

to sum up the week, we talked, ate and shopped. one day we literally shopped for 6 hours. 6. it was incredible. the babies were perfect. we both couldn't get over how well they were both doing with how long we shopped for. it's funny how the littlest things totally change after a baby. like sneaking in a diaper change in the dressing room, or having to go pump in the car and duck every time someone walked by, or have a feeding session with les in the underground parking lot while listening to music. and it all felt so natural, ha. like i've been doing those things all my life already.

i took them to some good eateries and stores, and the times we weren't doing those things-we met up with stace and talked and ate some more:). i'm tellin ya, it's what our family does best.

here's some pictures from the week. sorry about the poor quality-they were all taken with my phone.
brette- i cannot believe i didn't take one picture of you or with you. i'm so sorry! thank you guys so much for driving all the way down and hangin with me!! i loved it more than you'll ever know! thank you, thank you!

Melissa - as i am writing this i am listening to the song from your last post - LOVE IT!
Honestly I am SOOO SO SO SO SO glad we were able to come visit you and disrupt your life! Sorry to shop for 6 hours. Remember how I jokingly said we would be gone for 8 hours and then even after 6 we were rushing like mad men to get back. canadians. Best week ever Mel - thanks for being such a good host! And you clearly need a sriped shirt.
Have you taken care of the rest of your tomatoes yet!?!?!
