Two two-year-old tots (say that 5 times fast!)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. We had a busy and fun-filled one with our trip to see my best friend and her family in Jacksonville. She and I have been friends since third grade, believe it or not! We practically had every class together in high school, which led people to believe that we were attached at the hip, or that we were even the same person. Then we even went on to live together for FOUR years during college --- and yes, we are still best friends. Now how's that for a true friendship?

She and her husband also have a two-year-old (and another bouncing boy on the way in October!) so Bear Cub and B had such fun. It was great to see them actually interacting some on this trip - wanting to do the same things and following each other around the house. B is 4 months older than Bear Cub, so he likes to try engage him in some real conversation...well, Bear Cub just hasn't figured out how to respond when another CHILD talks to him. But, just the fact that the boys played SO well together and like being with one another was awesome. Bear Cub will pick up his end of the conversation soon enough, I'm sure. :)

Here are some pictures from our quick trip. We had fun just playing inside the house and also at their great community pool. Bear Cub is officially a fish now and scares us with his fearlessness of the water. He will jump in from any point on his own now - so you REALLY have to be ready for him! We are trying to decide if another few weeks of some kind of swim lessons would be beneficial for him this summer. B also did really well - he even did some jumps and did some great kicks! Both boys will be cruisin' the pool on their own in no time! Enjoy! :)

B says, "Come on in, the water is nice and warm!"

Here they are...investigating the highly-fascinating drain. Only boys would think this was so cool!

Two proud Mamas - isn't she just adorable pregnant??

"Let's destroy the bookshelf! Ok! That sounds like FUN!!"

Cutie-pie B...check out that gorgeous smile and THOSE CURLS!

Chowing down at breakfast -- oh yes, Zoe came with us, so she also had a great time with their dog, Roscoe. I think they wore each other out with all their chasing! :)
