Today, we drove out to Richmond to visit Elaine, Chole and baby Oskar. Andy (Heather’s brother) was unfortunately at work, so we didn’t get to see him. The last time Ella and Chloe spent time together was in July, so we really had no idea how they would be together. Chloe is 6 months older than Ella. Well…as you will soon see, they hit it off famously. They played really well together, shared with each other and Chloe was extremely compassionate when Ella fell down, hit her mouth and got a fat lip. Baby Oskar is adorable and Elaine was great. It was a really fun morning. When we came home, Ella wasn’t really in the mood for a nap. Sunny and I took Towby and Ella to a park for some fresh air. Bug pulled a muscle or something in her leg, so we didn’t want to drag her out of the house for a long walk. After the walk and a little resting, we walked around our neighborhood (it was a gorgeous night) with Stella, Juliet and Helen. We had dinner outside at a restaurant right by the house. The girls had a blast.

Oskar had Mommy totally hypnotized

Here’s to a beautiful friendship
Here’s Ella with a head/sweat band on doing her best to look like John McEnroe back in the early 80’s (notice her little fat upper lip)
We were all getting ready to leave for dinner and we let Ella and Juliet play in the hallway while we were getting Stella. Helen took a peek down the hall to make sure that Ella and Juliet weren’t going to make a run for it, and this is what she found – they were walking down the hall holding hands. They are so cute!
Here are our sweet girls hanging out on the steps in the lobby.
