Staying in touch is hard. Even when it is with people who you love and care about. Case in point: Marla and Phil. We hadn't seen them since before their beautiful daughter was born in the Spring and it was getting a bit ridiculous and, quite frankly, embarrassing for us. So I reached out to Marla to make plans and this conversation ensued (paraphrased, of course)):
Me: We miss you. Let's get together.
Marla: We miss you too. And, oh yeah, we MOVED to another State! How are you?
Me: What!? You moved?! We are good. And, oh yeah, I changed careers over the summer!
Sad, isn't it? Luckily, we were all free that weekend, so we journeyed to their new state (just to New Jersey...) for a wonderful and long overdue visit. They have an amazing old house with gorgeous stain-glassed windows and even a secret passageway!
How could we go so long without seeing these adorable faces?
Lyla loved Kelsey. But she has a hard time controlling her love sometimes. At one point, she shoved a chip with hummus right into Kelsey's mouth (Kelsey isn't eating solids yet...sorry about that, Marla)
She loved Brendan too. Marla says it was Brendan's first kiss. I wish I could say the same for Lyla and her loose lips.
Marla and her babies.

Thanks for having us, Phil and Marla!
