Lexi and Graham

Watching your children play with their friends is fun.
Watching your children play with your friends' children is really fun.
Elizabeth started out as my sorority sister and college roommate,
years later she was one of my beautiful bridesmaids,
and most recently she became Ryleigh's Godmother.
We were excited for her visit because we all love her.
But, we were especially excited because her son (and my Godson)
Graham was also making the trip to Fairfield.
He shares my birthday (go figure!) and is just about a month older than Alexis.
They hit it off right away and spent the entire weekend playing together.
Duck, duck goose, Mother may I, hide 'n seek, wiffle ball, wagon rides,
trips to the playground, lunch at Firehouse Deli, picnic dinners,
dinners on the deck, a trip to the Bronx Zoo
(and a baptism too)...
there was no shortage of fun for these two.
On our drive to the airport Monday afternoon,
Lexi begged Graham to hold her hand.
He said no time and again (boys will be boys).
Then he realized just how determined she can be
and gave in (while rolling his eyes at Elizabeth and I).
It was probably the funniest moment from the weekend.
I hope these two will be classmates at UVA one day....
or pen pals at the very least.
We love you Elizabeth and Graham!

So sweet – thank you!!! Be on the look-out for a funny note from Graham. You’ll know I didn’t dictate when you read it;-)

Just saw your note on our blog. Logan's nose is fine though I really thought she had broken it...looked pretty bad. Kids are more resilient than you think. Hope all is well. I see that you are moving. Good luck!
