Playdate and Belly Update

Yesterday I had the girls over and their kids so Ella Ann could have some fun, as well as myself! Unfortunately Andria and her two kids, Diego and Alexia, were not able to make it. Alexia is almost 1 and Ella Ann loves to play with her so she was disappointed she wasn't going to be there. However, there were 2 other babies for her to fawn over, Henry and Keona. Ella Ann had a blast playing with Anjuli and Mara Kate (Luke was at preschool so Megan just came with Henry) but she REALLY liked to bother Keona! The sweet baby was a good sport, though, and let Ella Ann shove her paci in her mouth about every 10 seconds for an hour but after a while she'd had enough! The three girls entertained themselves for over 2 hours and it was cute to peek in on them in Ella Ann's room and see what they were up to. At one point Ella Ann and Mara Kate were singing on the keyboard's microphone whatever song Anjuli was telling them to sing...I guess she was the director! They would run like crazy through the house with the shopping cart in tow and pretend they were going to different houses and the grocery. It's so fun to watch Ella Ann interact with her friends now because she is able to get into pretend play with them and make up all sorts of things. The three of them were very sweet together.

I also got to spend some quality time with Ruth, Megan, and Jana. We see each other often but rarely do we get to sit down together with just the 4 of us and really catch up. It was some much-needed friend time and I was so thankful for the fellowship with them!

Here are some pictures from the morning and 2 of me and my growing belly!

while Anjuli tells them what they are going to be singing next (the ABC's)!

Only 2 more months (or less) to go from today!
