Friends Are Swell, My Girl

23 and 4

Jen and Abby arrived yesterday! It’s so great to have them here and I have secret plans to keep her locked in the basement for months to come so she can never leave. Don’t worry. I plan to slide three pancakes under the door each day. She’ll be fine, really.

Abby has changed so much! Gone are the chubby cheeks and thighs of toddlerhood. Now she’s got cheekbones and expressive green eyes and the vocabulary of an eighth grader.

Avelyn bawled the whole way home from the Kelowna airport. At first Abby tried to console her with an adorable rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. After that proved unsuccessful at calming my freaker-outer, Abby herself let out a few exasperated screams then fell asleep.

I have to run. Avelyn is stirring and I think she’s awoken from her FOUR MINUTE AFTERNOON NAP.

  • Are you going to share Jen and Abby with the rest of us? I’ll bring pancakes :)

  • Such an adorable picture!!! They are both getting so big.

  • That is a really cute picture of the girls. Hope you two have a great time together!

  • Two very cute little girls!Hope you “big” girls have a great visit and lots of fun!

  • A couple of cutie patooties!
    Missing that warm little baby; I now know what you mean by her speed-of-lightning naps!!
    Granpa is really sick; may have to cancel dinner, will call tomorrow.

  • They are adorable. It’s like they never left each other!

  • Adorable picture. I’ll bet it will be nice for both you and Jen (and the other girls, of course) to be together again!

  • Abby looks so much like her mom and Avelyn and Abby are SO cute!!

  • Ah, so Avelyn has a staunch anti-nap policy as well? I may have the perfect guy for her. He’s a little chubby, and it’d be a long-distance relationship, but they apparently have similar views :)

    (Also, that picture is the cutest!)
