Visitors and Visiting

Last Saturday one of my very best friends Stephanie and her adorable baby girl Ella came to visit! It was a short visit, but it was so exciting to finally meet Ella and finally see Steph again after such a long time. We got to chat, I fed Ella her bottle, and we played a quick game of Blockus (Stephanie and I are very avid game lovers and are very competitive, so it really wouldn't be a reunion without a game of some kind!)
After spending such a short time with Stephanie and Ella I quickly realized...that was not enough! I decided to make the long, lonely trip to Logan despite my driving anxieties for a special visit on Monday.
As you all can see, Ella is irresistible! This is Ella enjoying some "tummy time" and trying to find her thumb!
When I arrived on Monday evening we took a moment to catch up again...two days is a long time! Then we played a game...surprise! Wackee Six, I swear every time I see Stephanie she has a new game to teach me...love it! Then we went to New Moon with one of Stephanie's neighbor friends and enjoyed some Mexican food afterwards.

Oh doesn't Ella look so cute! Stephanie sure is good at dressing her so well and her nursery is so cute too! We had fun getting her ready for the day on Tuesday, making her smell nummy with baby lotion! We played the rest of the day and met up with Jace (Stephanie's husband) for lunch, it was his birthday.
When I was leaving, Ella was ready for a nap and she was getting really cuddly... it was so hard to leave some of my most favorite girls!
I really had a such a fun trip and it was nice to have some fun on my days off I had to take! Thanks so much Steph and Jace for always having such a nice welcome home for me, you guys are always so sweet and thoughtful. You did too much for me for sure and I miss you! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful friend!
