Final Vermont Play Date

I have long wanted to write about this special visit from Margie and Noah at the end of November. Since this blog serves as my journal...for my late-night-memory-jarring perusals of what life used to be, I wanted to post some of my favorite pics of Nora and her little friend Noah.

It was only a week before we would depart our home of five years on Vermont and head up towards the suburbia we now call home.  The sun was setting.  The tots were ablaze with energy and excitement and freshly-minted running ability.

I met Margie nearly a year ago.  We both had four-month old peanuts and a bit of cabin fever.  There were a few blankets spread upon the ground at an oceanside park for a picnic...we both had a desire to eat but a quandry of what to do with our babes.  Taking turns was a natural option.  And there it was - the meeting of Noodle and Nobey.  Our sweet outfitted squishies lying upon the colorful blankets.  Since then there have been many fabulous playdates.  Fewer than Margie and I would like...but there have also been more ladies-only cocktail celebrations.  Her friendship has become a true source of support, laughter, and understanding.  This picture is from their first solo-playdate.

So, here's our busy bees in action.
