My friend Heather’s little girl Evelyn was in Wisconsin with Heather’s parents (her first solo visit!), and we got to join them for a play date at the Dream Park. Here’s Sylvie, Evie, and Celia on the tire swing together.
There’s Evie on the swings.
Three girls eating carrots on the playground bench.
We had a picnic, and the girls ate lots of pb&j sandwiches with grapes. Then toes and fingers got cold, and it was time to pack it in!
A few days later, Heather and Michael drove up to Madison from their new home in Indiana. They brought with them two little munchkins whom I <aaarrrggghhh> haven’t yet met. Here’s me holding darling Amalia. I was relieved that she looked like her pictures. It felt nice to recognize them. Amalia is a bit of a clone of her sister appearance-wise.
How lucky was I to have a baby fall asleep on me?
Oh, the sleeping sweetness.
And there’s Mr. Alex. Such a charmer and so full of personality. I love this little mister and all his sweet tiny fingers and toes!
Here’s Amalia taking nap #2 of the morning in a sling. 
The next day, I met up with Heather and her family to take photos with Heather’s grandma. Such a treat it was to spend hours together! Thanks, Heather and Michael, for making the trip north! I’ll try to get down to Indiana to see you this winter.
