May 17, 2011: Playdate at the Park

Be a Fan

In this fabulous phase of my life on maternity leave, I'm so lucky to have friends who are off at the same time. Some of us ladies from home group decided to make a point of getting together as often as possible and set Tuesdays apart as our unofficial dates to hang out!

This Tuesday we headed to Kathryn's place to meet up and then walked to Starbucks and off to Douglas Park. The park was great and the sun came out to greet us as well. I loved having gorgeous weather and some beautiful little models! Here are some pics of Jonah and his gorgeous white blond curls that I not-s0-secretly covet and wish my boys had!



What an adorable kid!



I love watching moms with their kids and this sequence with Kathryn and Jonah was too adorable not to include! Kathryn, you are beautiful and you have a beautiful boy!

A few of my little man!



Ben found a nice dirt hole and set up camp!



Yep - it didn't take him long to start putting the dirt in his mouth :) Reminds me of all the times I've picked him up from the outside play area of daycare only to find dirt on his lips or chalk about to enter his mouth. Awesome.



Jonah joined him and brought a toy of his own so Ben was happy to welcome him into his dirt hole. I couldn't help myself and had to include most of these photos because their expressions were priceless.

I love how disgusted Jonah looks at the fact that he's getting dirty!

I find it absolutely hilarious when kids who are playing together look like they've just noticed that someone is there next to them.

Ali was telling me that she was trying to get Caden to smile for the camera to practice for Kyle and Lindsay's wedding so I thought I'd help too :)



Ali & Cole/Juliet & Ethan - seriously stunning moms.



A few shots of the youngest member of the crew - Cole Kooger. Smaller than his brother was when he was a baby but still so cute!

A few more that I couldn't resist!



Back to the blond, curly haired toddler :)



And more of Jonah!



A few of the two oldest boys - Ben & Caden. These two have just started to really play WITH each other and it's so cute. They run after one another and Ben tries to mimick what Caden says. Such good little buddies :)



Thanks ladies for such a great day together. I love hanging out with all 3 of you and your kids and, even though we're often running after one of our kids mid-conversation, I find that I'm truly enriched by your company and friendship. Love you guys and looking forward to more fun!
