Weekend at Ernie's

(only Saturday night actually)
While in Houston this weekend, met up with a dear friend from college, Karla. She has always been a faithful friend even through some of my ewww times. I truly sorry that I haven't been a better friend and stayed in closer touch, but...I plan to change that.

As a delightful hostess, she welcomed us into her home and whipped up an incredibly delicious sit-down dinner with ease. Ernie, her 11th month old, is an adorable little boy...happy and easy-going like his momma. These aren't sweat-the-small-stuff kind of folks....I love that...and there is much I can learn from them. Sweet Ernie sporting his glasses...

Then off they came once he had some place to go...(This pic cracks me up and I love it.)
Ernie crawls much faster than Reece.
I think this pose had something to do with that fact.

Looks like Reece caught up with him...
Saturday night was one of the few times Ernie has had a playdate...we were honored. Reece got to play with his toys, his sweet and energetic dogs, eat in his cool high chair, and managed to hang in there waaaay past his bedtime. He got sweet and snuggly and almost fell asleep in my arms.

On the way out, Reece waved bye-bye to them...his first wave! Ironically, I had just said that he didn't know how to do it yet, and then saw something move of the corner of my eye. Then, he did it again. Karla said that he definitely waved and saw both of them. Guess he showed me!

Thanks for a great evening, Karla, reconnecting with each other and sharing our new joys in life.
