Our date with Charli Beth

First of all, thank y’all so much for all of your sweet comments on my last post. Your thoughts & prayers mean so much! However, I really did not want it to sound like a pity-party, by any means. We are still managing just fine & are very optimistic in this situation. It could always be worse & I know it will all work out for the best in the end. It has been about 6 weeks since the gym closed & I debated posting anything because I didn’t want to come across as being ungrateful for what we do have. So, sorry if it sounded that way, but thanks again!

On Friday the kids & I met up with one of my blog besties, Paige & her adorable little girl, Charli Beth. I have been reading Paige’s blog forever & we saw that we have so much in common. We decided to meet up for lunch & let the kids hang out. Despite Averly screaming for about 90% of our lunch, it was perfect! Poor baby girl didn’t sleep well the night before & she was so ill. I felt like the entire restaurant was staring. Hopefully we didn’t embarrass you too much Paige! :0)

She did stop crying long enough to get a group picture though. I love how Riley is checking Charli out! He LOVED her!

These two immediately hit it off! They were 2 peas in a pod! Someone even asked if they were brother & sister. They had warmed up to each other that quick!

After lunch we walked around downtown a little. Riley & Charli held hands the entire time. Aren’t they just too sweet?!

Then we stopped in to see my sister at work & the kids got some new cowboy hats. I thought they looked so precious in their cowboy/cowgirl attire!

Still holding hands ;0)

When it was time to leave I told Riley to give Charli a hug & he ran up to Paige wanting her to hold him! He wanted to go home with them I think!

We had so much fun & it was so exciting to meet a fellow blogger! I can’t wait to get together again when it’s a little warmer outside & the kids can play. Paige was just as sweet & pretty in real life as she is on her blog! And of course Miss CB was absolutely adorable. Such a little firecracker-just like I imagined her to be! Thanks for meeting up with us girls! Can’t wait til next time!!

  5. Ah, I have tears! I do believe you are the sweetest person alive! I know I have told you practically a million times already but it was so wonderful to meet you, Averly, and Riley. I cannot wait to meet up again in the Spring or Summer. I absolutely adore about sweet both of your children are. I cannot wait to post my blog too!

  7. That is so neat that you live close enough to hang out with a blogging friend. What a fun and it looks like the kids had a great time. Blogging is such a great connection to people you might not have meet otherwise. How cool.
