Chloe, Georgia & Asha got together, changed outfits 23 times, ate 3 or 4 cookies apiece, played a good amount of "house", and called it a successful playdate!
After meeting Natalie at Heidi's wedding, the two were instant pals. They talked about how they were friends "when they were little girls" (they were actually, when they were 1 and 2 years old!) The rest of the night was spent fixing each others' hair, drinking 'wine' (punch), and dancing their shoes off! These two were a hoot! Let's just hope they don't take after their mothers in their teenage years... that'd be the kind of trouble I'm definitely not prepared for!
Daniel came to hang out with us for a few nights. They got along great (actually, they're a lot like siblings -- best of friends and worst of enemies!), but I think the poor boy may have been forced to play the part of Asha's prom date and watch girl movies.
Lauren came to babysit, and it was like two old souls were reunited.
"Whatcha eatin'?" said Fat Baby 1 to Fat Baby 2.
The Stone boys came over for to play for a couple hours one weekend... allowing their Mommies to 'catch up' a bit, plus the kiddos got some serious playtime in with their little buddies! Noah and Ian are about 7 months apart, Nolan and Asha are about 6 months apart in age. They all play really well together! And might I add, isn't this the CUTEST bunch of kids you've ever seen?! (Honestly can't believe they all sat still for the 1/8th of a second it took to snap this pic!)
And the little doppelgangers, Brooklyn and Asha. It is hilarious watching these two play together -- they are like a couple of little old ladies at bridge club! They are "BFF...FFFFFFF's" according to Ash. (That means 'forever and ever and ever and ever and ever', I am told.)
I'm so grateful for all of our friends, and for their beautiful children.
It's so much fun to watch them grow up together!

I love that Nolan is apparently practicing his ninja skills in that picture. The Stones are raising their boys well.
Uh Jarid! Clearly Ben & Annika have never gotten to play at the Franzen house because if they had, you'd know that ninja skills are an absolute necessity if you want your children to survive! :-)
Ah, but such, such fun they have!
Great fun Shan! I am still smiling! And I love the picture of our 4 kiddos together...I can't even imagine what Ian was thinking...perhaps that he wished he was the one with the sword!! Love it!!!
Aaah, yes, my little Baby Vikings. One must have mad defensive skills to function in our home. But nobody can say my kids are weenies! They are very, um, 'passionate' children.
