Blue-eyed babies times two
We were so delighted to have Heather and Fiona visiting last week. The last time we saw H and Fiona was the week before we moved to Chicago. While Shawn drove cross-country, Finn and I shacked up in the Gray/Williams backyard cottage. That was seven months ago and Finn was just rolling around and Fiona was a floppy newborn. There were some tears when a well-meaning Finn showed off for Fiona by rolling, rolling, rolling, nearly steamrolling Fiona as she lie innocently on a blanket.
What a difference a few months make! Now the steamrolling advantage is evenly matched. Fiona has grown into a gorgeous SuperBaby™, matching Finn step for step and toy for toy. It was great to see these two playing so sweetly together and toddling around the playroom. It will be fun to show them these photos when they're all grown up and married some day.
But it was also wonderful to see Heather. Ain't nothing like an H in the house--I loved just catching up with her, watching her as a mom, and just soaking up all the H-ness. I tried to sell her on a move to Chicago, which was only aided by our (relatively) cheaper real estate and 47 degree temperatures in January. (Frigid Chicago winters? Myth.) We might as well live closeby, as we will be in-laws some day.
