Today I am thankful for all of the new babies that dear friends of mine have recently had. They are all healthy, the mommas are all healthy, and the babies are so precious. I got to have lunch with some of my very best friends from college today. Kathy just had Perry 3 weeks ago. Perry is such a cutie and is already doing so awesome for being so little. She looks a lot like her beautiful momma. I didn't get a single picture of Perry but we will definitely see her again this week, so stay tuned. Jayme and sweet Ellie were also at lunch. Jayme had Ellie several weeks early and Jayme was very sick with extremely high blood pressure, but now at 2 months, both Mom and baby are healthy and happy. Ellie is such a tiny little peanut and she never made a peep - she slept the entire 3 hours we were together. We also saw Maggie, Ted, and their new son Titus, who just turned 3 months old. He was the only boy in the group and I think he liked all of the ladies! He was such a charmer and full of smiles. Mags, it was so great to see you and Ted - it has been WAY too long. Please come and visit us. And finally, my friend Stacey was also along for this crazy visit. She had Annie smiling, laughing, and dancing the entire time, which allowed me to love of the babies. Thanks Stace! It was really rainy and dark here today, so I barely took any pictures. Only Ellie made it into any of the 10 pics that I took. Here she is. Just adorable. I wanted to take more pictures of her for Jayme, but the weather just didn't cooperate.







Lucy stayed with Lee Lee while Annie and I visited everyone. Trust me, she definitely preferred to be at the house with Lee Lee. Plus, we all (yes, all of the adults and 4 little babies) went out to eat. The babies were all perfectly behaved, which was truly a miracle. When I got home, Lucy was napping and this was in the living room:



And so, reason #7,620 why Lucy would like to move in with Lee Lee and Papa - you get to bring antique Wonder Horse inside the house when it is raining outside. How can I compete with that? The girl wants nothing to do with me while we are here. When she wakes up and I go to get her, she starts shouting for Lee Lee. She only wants Lee Lee to get her in/out of her carseat, to hold her when she needs carried, and to change her diapers (I am definitely not complaining about this one). I am totally chopped liver!! What can I say, she loves all of her grandparents. She really has them all wrapped around her little finger.





Annie was not too sure about the horse and Lucy wanted to take her for a few wild rides.




She preferred to talk to him from the safe place of the floor.


And finally, Lee Lee might not be the best diaper changer! Ha. Lucy won't ever stay still, but I think I normally do a little better job than this. Looks like her panties are really in a wad over something.
