The Delightful Miss Olivia

Ken and I love it when our friends have babies. I think it may be because we are so happy with children, that we like to see others blessed in a similar fashion. Dear friends of ours, Russ and Meghan, have a daughter, Olivia, who is a little under a month younger than Frances. Meghan was in the city for a wedding and a visit, and we were delighted to host them at our house for a meet and greet. Although our visit was short (and sans Russ) it was great to finally see Olivia in the flesh. Near the end of the visit Frances and Olivia began a conversation, which, if you know Ken and Russ you will understand my trepidation. However, it will be nice to see another generation getting into trouble together. Although Frances should watch herself, from the looks of it, Olivia would be the hands down winner in the baby grudge match.

Olivia was sleeping when she got to our house.....but not for long!

It was nice to kiss a baby head and not get a mouthful of hair.

I love the look on Frances' face: "Whoa whoa, there's only enough room in this joint for one baby! GOT IT!" When Ken saw this he said "see Cara, wouldn't twins be great?" Whereby I curled up into the fetal position and cried.

Ken loves babies.

There's a lot of estrogen on this couch.....

You've gotta watch the Yost men, Cara. You know that dad's said he'd have loved it if Ed had been quints, right?

What a great time it was - and it was so short! Can imagine if we get the whole crew together for a real visit! Enjoy the cabin and the wine.

Just clicked on your crazy label of 'Olivia'. Nice to reflect on how little the kiddos were! I also like how your label for Teresa and Frances are the same size - unconscious effort to have samesies!
