A Visit from our DC Friends

Olivia and Mason came to visit us yesterday! They were in town for about 24 hours and it was just enough time to let the mommies catch up and let the kiddos get in some serious play time. Caroline and I couldn't believe just how big Mason has gotten and how much he has changed as his first birthday approaches this weekend! He's an adorable little guy, who's already mastered the art of walking! Caroline was very good with Mason, sharing (for the most part) her toys nicely, giving Mason a run for his money during meal times, and not getting upset during the couple times that Mason cried. I count Mason and Caroline's interactions as a successful dry run for when her baby sisters arrive!
We didn't do anything super exciting during our time together, which was just fine with everyone. We spent the first part of the day catching up, feeding the kiddos, and taking naps and then in the afternoon, Kim came over with Madeleine and Clarke to visit. Before we knew it, it was bath and bed time and then time to get up, grab breakfast and head back to the train station. Although it was quick, Caroline and I loved having our good friends visit!
As usual, Caroline spent her time outside pushing Baby Gigi in the stroller.

Only pic of all four kiddos together. It was impossible to get them to look at the same time, especially since there was food in play.

Caroline and Mason do some parallel play.

A Visit from Olivia and Mason

We've been really lucky lately to have so many wonderful visitors in Richmond! This week, "Aunt" Olivia and Baby Mason came down from DC to spend the day and a night with us! It was great to see how much bigger (and even more handsome) Mason has gotten and to spend time with Olivia. Mason has the biggest, most adorable brown eyes you've ever seen!
Caroline was curious about Baby Mason, wanting to touch his little eyes and feet, and giving him a little bit of the stink eye when Mommy spent too much time attending to him instead of her. She was really excited when Mommy got out some of her old baby toys for Mason, and spent a good deal of time revisiting them! Before the Phillips left us, they were kind enough to walk Caroline to school for her second day. Just like last week, Caroline walked right in without a fuss. When I went back to pick her up her teachers said Caroline did a great job and that she is "so low key and independent!"

Hey there, friend...



...can I hold your hand?
