The Talbots Visit KC

/3 Comments/in , /by

A few weeks ago (back when the family was running around spreading strep throat to the masses) we had some guests at Casa di Peters. See, I have this friend. She used to be an uber-hippie, and still is…sort of. Now she’s a uber-hippie running around in the body of a stay-at-home mom of three who is married to a doctor and lives on an army base in Maryland. But I bet she still has lots of tapestries. And she smells faintly of pachuli.

I love her to death, and since she was the only of my friends with a kid when I myself became a human incubator, she had to endure daily calls from me regarding every aspect of pregnancy. It’s moving, is that OK? Can I eat tuna? What the heck is an episiodomy? The poor girl answered them all, and usually kept a smile on her face throughout.

She asked me to take some pictures of her kids while she was in town visiting, but since the sickness, the never-ending basketball drama, and the overall lack of sleep in the past two weeks, I hadn’t had the chance to process or post very many. I still have a bunch of images to upload, but here are some to get you through your Monday.

One Last Thing

I promise, after this there will be no more college basketball related posts for a while. But I thought you all needed to see the happiest man in the world on Monday night….

The Happiest Man in the Place

Showering

One of my best friends in the whole world is having a baby. Just four years ago we were listening to Portuguese marching bands and hopping random trains to Amsterdam, and now we’re both going to be parents. Crap. I fear for the future.

With the help of the wonderful Kristi Kay and my gorgeous mother-in-law, I threw a ducky themed baby shower (based off this shower on Hostess with the Mostess) for my dear Abbie this past weekend. After the guests had left, I took some quick photos of Abbs with her big ole belly. Taking pictures at events like these always makes me yearn for a new lens. One that possibly doesn’t suck and that can actually handle high exposure. The grass is always greener, I suppose.

Blind Playdate

/3 Comments/in , /by

When Lucy and I were back in my hometown a few weeks ago pondering what would become a large, insane decision, which I will talk about more later, I decided to try and set up a playdate with a high school friend and her daughter. Nicole and I had been trying to get our girls together for months. Little Haven is only a few months older than Lucy, and although we did get together last Christmas, both the girls were so young, it was really more like watching two slugs smile at each other from across the room. Adorable slugs, mind you, but at that point Lu wasn’t even crawling, so the playdate was less play and more drool.

Nicole is a professional photographer (and let me just say, the name of her company is so freaking clever! I mean, Nicole Coleman…Nicoleman Photography…brilliant!), so she works most weekends and I’m never back in our hometown during the week, so several months (or maybe a year) went by before we got the kiddos back together again. What ensued was total toddler carnage…

(Photos stolen borrowed from Nicole’s family blog, Benicoleman.com…and come on! Benicoleman…for Ben and Nicole Coleman…genius!)

Lucy had spent the week before the big playdate with the ridiculous cough that kept her up most nights. This led to one crabby Lucy, who cried at almost everything that Haven did, good or bad.

Fighters

Although I thought Haven did an OK job of sharing, and I’m not sure Lu would have been much better if it were her toys being played with by this strange, pigtailed creature, there were some definite fights. Haven’s best move was pulling Lu’s shirt until she dropped whatever she was playing with.

Sidenote: Don’t you love Haven’s shirt! It has pink, blue and black skull and crossbones on it, and I want to know where Nicole got it. Give it up, Nicole!

They did try to share…

Sharing

But, to no avail…

Mine

But in the end, they made up and all were happy. Kisses were given, hugs were shared and I coveted Nicole’s camera equipment. All in all, a good playdate. Despite the bruises.

Reconciliation

Kiss
