Say hello to Ava's little friend.

The teensy little bathing beauty here in the tub with Ava is Peyton, the daughter of our dear old friends the Laakso's. No matter how many times I look at this picture, it never fails to make me laugh; not only is Ava twice Peyton's size, but the look on her face makes you wonder if she's plotting something. Or just peed in the water.

Peyton's mom and I grew up together, and even though they live far apart, it looks like our babies will also grow up as friends. Well, "friends" may be overstating things a bit if Ava doesn't stop stealing Peyton's toys, but at the very least they'll be forced to spend a lot of vacations together.

Brandy, Peyton and I were joined last week by two other fabulous ladies (also known as the rest of my wedding party) - Marianne and Lauren - and the visit was as it always is: relaxing, wine-soaked, banter filled, and comfortably familiar. Perfect.

A few highlights from Girl's Week:

The babies had a blast at the park...

Peyton taunted the dog with her breakfast...

And I dared to actually hire a babysitter so I could have a night out with my (grown up) girls...

Cheers to friends old and new. Ava and I love you.
