We met Courtney, Brian & Makenna on the Eastern side in Akron and spent a very fun but tiring less than 24 hours with them. Courtney & I hadn't seen each other's kids since either was born, and it was high time. So Lilly and Makenna, future penpals and hopefully friends themselves had their first meeting, and Court and I got to see each other which I've always said and will always say is good for my soul. Because of my background, I'm not a person who's had a particular friend around since 2nd grade or anything, and for the first time I feel like a have a friend that I truly believe I'll still have when I'm 30 (crap-that's not far away), 40, 50, 60 yadda yadda. Court and I handed over the girls to their dads to have a little us time and even though they tried, those dads just get a little freaked out going solo, I think. So here are some pictures. And a couple pics of Lilly in her bumbo at the shop. She isn't amused just sitting on my lap while I work anymore, so bumbo it is!
Lilly and Chris both chew on their hands in the car...

Makenna wanted to take Lilly home, I think. 
Makenna's toothy-cookie grin
Da girls
Makenna rocks...in every sense of the word!
