Merrin's new friends

Merrin had her first story time at our local library this past week and unfortunately when we arrived we discovered it had been canceled :( We were so bummed but decided to walk around and see if there might be any fun books to check out. Thank goodness we stayed because apparently all the other moms were unaware of the cancellation too! Merrin and I got to meet most of the other moms and their little ones that normally come to story time and I felt like I instantly made fast friends with them. One of the moms I had actually already met because she lives in our neighborhood and goes to our pool. It was so nice to already know someone and two of the other moms that I met graduated from ASU so that was another plus! After hanging around the library a little while we all decided to go to lunch. We must have had a brief moment of insanity because we had 5 moms and 8 children ranging from 10 months to 2 1/2 years old. When we arrived at the restaurant we realized they may not have enough high chairs to accommodate us but fortunately it all worked out and we ended up, believe it or not, having a great time. All the children were very well behaved and Merrin even ate PIZZA which up until that day she wouldn't have touched. We are really looking forward to this week's story time!

Later in the week Merrin's friend, Emma, and her mom, Laura, came to visit. Although it was not the first time our girls had met, it was their first official play date together and aside from Merrin being a little greedy with her toys, I think the girls had a great time! Merrin had fun playing "hide & seek" through her push car and isn't Emma adorable??!!! I am sure there will be many more play dates ahead for these two little beauties!

Looks like a lot of fun! I met one of my closest friends at storytime, it is a great activity. You need to frame the peek a boo with the push toy picture. I can't wait to get Emory and Merrin together!

I can't wait to do storytime with Nicholas, I used to love taking David when he was little. It looks like you are finally settling into the SAHM routine. We miss you very much and can't wait to see you again.
