Wonderful Wisconsin: Part 2- Playdates in WI

[And now returning to the continuing story of our trip to WI...already in progress.]


I was thrilled to learn several weeks ago that one of my dearest friends from highschool, Clare , was moving back to Racine from NJ. She has a 5 year old daughter. and a son who is about 1 month older than Lauren. Also joining us was my best friend from high school, Jenny, with the youngest of her three children, a little girl who is 9 months old (don't let all her hair fool you, lucky devil, says the Mommy of a perpetually bald baby!). We had so much fun watching our kids (!!!) play together. Clare and Josh's new home is just lovely...you wouldn't know they only moved in 4 weeks ago....that's my equally organized friend. :) My only oops...we didn't take any pictures with Jenny or Clare-- just of the kids.


Victoria, Clare, Quinn, and Lauren

Sweet Victoria looks so much like her mother. She learned how to use a sippy cup that day, thanks to Clare's speech pathology techniques. That was pretty neat to see, and it was in a matter of moments!

And, Quinn, who favors his mother's family as well. He and Lauren were neck and neck in size. It was fun to watch them all play together, especially since the mom's have been friends since 2nd grade (Jenny) and middle school (Clare). Wild to think what the past 20+ years have brought our way.

Later that afternoon, Lauren playing peek-a-boo with Uncle Paul. She thought he was pretty funny, as do we all. :) Just wait 'til he juggles for her!
