A Mini-Reunion

I went to Logan on Friday, and the stars aligned for me to reunite with my college roommates from my senior year. My sophomore and junior year of college will go down in history as two of the worst years of my life, and I'm not overstating it when I tell you that Brooke, Jenni, and Rose were an absolute Godsend. I knew Rose before (obviously, since we are cousins), and she introduced me to Brooke and Jenni.

Except for all of the kids running around, it was just like the olden days. Brooke seemed peaceful and at one with the universe (despite the new baby sleep deprivation), Rose tutored us on how to be urban farmers and then in the next breath told us where to go for the best nails, and Jenni was still laid back and accepting and also still the pickiest eater ever. Rose and I both have two children, Jenni has 3, and Brooke wins the prize with 5.

Here is her newest: Harper K.

I told him to smile and this stink-eye is what he gave me.

Aren't they beautiful?
I've been telling myself that Kiki is my little baby, but photographic evidence makes it clear that I am totally delusional.

Kate LOVED holding the baby. Sorry to everyone else that you didn't get a very long turn.

Lola found the sequins.

All in all, what an incredible afternoon. There is something so wonderful about friends who have known you since you wore skinny leg jeans the FIRST time around. We knew each other when we were just starting to figure things out and make adult decisions and decide how our "grown-up" lives were going to be, and now we get to know each other while we are living those lives. Although, I still sometimes think I'm just still only starting to figure things out.
