Plague: Avoided....for the time being....

So it appears for the time being Liv and I have avoided being body hosts for this nasty plague-type cold that has descended upon our home.

The only thing I have managed to contract as of yet is a coming and going sore throat right in that weird place between your nose and your throat and an off again/on again runny nose. yuck. And Livie had a little snot drainage yesterday and a weird cough this morning that seems to be getting a little better as the morning goes on.

Hmm. Maybe we haven't avoided it as much as I would have liked.

Score: Livie and Mommy-2
Nasty Plague Cold-0

Yesterday Liv and I got to meet up with our Bestest Friends-Megan and Kaylee. Megan and I have been Best Friends since the 4th grade and our girls are only about 6 months apart, so MUCH fun is had whenever we are together.
Megan is getting married at the end of this summer, so we went and met up with her and Kaylee at the big Bridal shop in the town over from us so that Meg could try on her dress and shoes again.

It's so much fun to watch our 'babies' play together: it's seriously like a mini-megan and mini-me running around. Kaylee is totally the more laid back of the two, just as her mother was, and Liv is more in her face, hamming it up, trying to make her laugh, just as HER mother was!
Kaylee is long and lean like her momma and Liv is a little more stocky, and built more like a football player, like....well.... her momma! haha
Oh man, it is such a hoot to sit back and watch. Unfortunately, we don't get to play near as much as we would like to, because we live a ways away from each other, so it's quite special when we are able to get together.

Darn, your pics aren't showing up!!
My best friend lives about 14 hours away so when we get together, which isnt' too often, we have the best of time. We've been best friends since birth and her two girls are close in age to two of my boys so we have that in common too. It's awesome isn't it?? Glad you got to have some special time with the girls.

YAY for the Big-Me's and the Mini-Me's. Those two little girls are so darn cute; I love the hand-on-the-leg in the first picture and the hand-holding in the last picture. Remember doing that in the very early years of grade school; the holding hands with your best friend? So sweet! And it's pretty sweet that you and Megan have maintained your friendship all these years, too. It is so worth it!
