Mommy & Me time!

Last week my friend Lisa and I were discussing the fact that a GOOD "Mommy and Me" group is not that easy to find. (For any who don't know this term, I simply mean a group of mom's who get together to talk while their kids play, the talking part is optimistic but hoped for.) Then it dawned on us, we should start our own!

Today was the very first outing of our brand new "Mommy and Me" group! We met at Meinig Park and here are my definition of "a few" pics :)


I was just as excited about this as Riley was, but she looks a lot cuter than I did when I ran this way to the playground.

Here are some introductions...


This is my friend Lisa, the cohort in crime with whom the idea was hatched

Mommy of 2 mo old Ty

and a very cute 2 1/2 yr old Zac

Don't you agree?


This is Jamie, Lisa's sister-in-law, with little 2 mo old Noah
(His cousin Ty was born only 8 days before him)

A very peaceful Baby Noah


This is Noah's big sister Madison, who is a very bubbly 3 with a huge personality :)

I love this picture of her!


This is Jessica and another hungry little baby;


Fletcher was born 3 months early so technically he is 4 months old, but really he is 7 months


This is Fletcher's big sister Riley who, as you can see, has absolutely no personality either :)


Of course this tired girl needs no introductions but I wanted to explain ahead of time that I didn't get that many pics of her because she proceeded (immediately following this picture) to sleep through the whole play date :)



So all in all we had 3 adults and 7 children! The playground was VERY busy so the idea that any of us got to sit down for very long is misleading, but when we did this was ground zero :)

Riley loved the tire swing


This was Madison's first time in the swing all by herself!


Riley is very outgoing and soon found friends to play with.


Madison and Zac on the other hand stayed pretty close.


Madison takes very seriously the role of older cousin and took very good care of Zac


Zac was so mild mannered and let her lead him all over the play ground


So much help!


Finally my love woke up, right before it was time to go home.

It was such a fun day! I can't wait until next Tuesday to do it all over again.

Cute :) You're lucky your friends and you all had your babies around the same time so you get to share the experiences and playtimes! Hopefully my best friends and I miraculously end up doing the same thing.
