Visit from Emily, Abby, and Kourtney

This past weekend two of my oldest (and I don't mean age) friends came to visit. Emily and I have been friends since our highschool days at St. Louis, and Kourtney and I have known each other since Kindergarten. It's so nice to have friends that you have known for so long. There isn't any explaining that needs to be done - we know each other so well - know each others families, backgrounds, old boyfriends, favorite colors, everything. The best part is that when we get together again we just pick up where we left off.
Emily has a nine-month old Abigail who is adorable. What a sweet, funny little thing! She has quite a personality. Though she is an angel 99% of the time, she does occasionally have a little "temper tantrum" where she sticks her arms out to the side and makes a little pitiful fussy noise. It is precious. And it doesn't even compare to Cooper's meltdowns - screaming hysterically, tears, ... a complete mess!
We had a lot of fun and squeezed alot into two days. We did a good amount of shopping. The kids all did great together. Jackson LOVED having Abby around.

Friends sharing cheerios. Loving the outfits!

Here's Jackson - and he is very excited about his lunch at Cheesecake Factory - (they don't have kids menu - good to know ) . They told us they could make kid's chicken and fries, so we agreed to that, and here is what he got - all of us could have filled up on this meal. Anyway, we paid for it, too - it was 9.50!!! Now, I know I may be a little frugal when it comes to eating out, but 9.50 for a kids lunch?? I can feed him a really healthy yummy lunch for a couple of weeks with 9.50! : ) Anyway, lesson learned. Next time he can share ours ... or, maybe we will just eat at home before shopping! : )

And here's an attempt to get a picture of all of them together -

Going ...

Gone!

It was a wonderful weekend, and my only regret is that we didn't get one picture of the three of us. Next time! Oh, and the best part was that Colin drove all three babies home from the mall, and watch them for an hour or so while we got pedicures!!! He's so great.
