The babies grow up

I haven't seen much of my coffee group friends lately. About half the group is back at work, and one family has already had #2. We try to all meet up at least once a month, and a few weekends ago we had a Pizza Party on a Saturday evening so that we could catch up - Dads too. It's hard to imagine that just 20 months ago we were toting around little babies and now they're running, jumping, tornados. We had a great night - ate way too much pizza, and realize that boys aren't as intelligent as girls at this age (or at least they just don't talk as much....they just move...ha ha!)

Georgi, Luca, and Flynn - amazing I got them all to stand still long enough to take this.

Chelsea, Fiona (who just had #2 about 2 months ago), and Amy

Okay, I had to capture a pic of me with Fiona's new baby, Hazel and Tom. I wanted to see what I would look like with a baby and toddler together at the same time. I can't believe that our solid little family unit of 3 will expand to 4. FOUR!? I need to cherish these days of threedom while they last.

Oh, and my friend Shelly from Coffee group is also having #2 - just a month after our baby is due...which means I'll have a few friends on maternity leave with me....now we just waiting for the rest of the group to get pregnant...

A few weeks ago there was a nationwide SPCA cupcake day sale. I baked several dozen of these beauties to sell at work - with all proceeds going to SPCA (like the humane society back in the States). Pretty cute, eh? It totally reminded me of cupcake days held at Bowles Elm school as a fundraiser for the PTA. The thrill of buying a cupcake that had the most icing or best candy on it....waiting all day until your class could go out in the hall and buy cupcakes - all for a mere $1. I hope these cupcake sales still happen. I'm a huge cupcake fan.
