Gage and Gracyn

Above is a picture from Gage and Gracyn's first playdate, which was about 2 years ago!

How sweet are those faces!?!?

What a great playdate. Our friends from our old church came over yesterday, Angela (the mom), Gracyn (2years old) and Grady (8months old). We have know them since BK (before kids!). It is so great to have friends whose families grow as your own grows. That is exactly how we are. Gage and Gracyn are only about 6 weeks apart. Grady and Jillian are just a couple months apart. How fun is that. Angela and I have tried a few times to get together for a playdate. We don't live that far away, but after we had the newest babies, things got crazy! Either one of the kids was sick or something got in the way. So, it was very exciting that we were able to have this spur of the moment playdate. Gage had a bit of a shy streak at first. He only wanted to sit in either my mom's lap or mine. After lunch he started to warm up. I made some yummy recipes from Deceptively Delicious! I made the chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks. Doesn't sound healthy does it? Well, what we really ate was chicken, mozzarella, SPINACH, CAULIFLOWER, and BUTTERNUT SQUASH! It was so yummy! Angela was inspired to go buy the book! See picture below for dessert. I will post that recipe soon.

Here are the tods...all grown up! I was making a funny face to get their attention on the camera. I think they were trying to copy me, hence the open jaws!

There were lots of hugs and kisses to go around!

Gracyn is hugging the Rock and Roll Elmo! She is a good climber!

Gage is checking out the buttons!This is Grady. It is so funny. If he saw the camera, he put on the cutest smile...EVERY TIME!

So cute!

We are trying to wind them down from the madness! They are watching "Leo", which is Little Einsteins.

The moms! If you can't tell, it is a lot of work having a playdate! But we had so much fun! It is great getting together with moms who are in the same place as you...or just finished the phase you are in. You can gain a lot of insight and support from each other!

Here is the dessert. Check back soon for the recipe!
