From High School to Motherhood

Sometimes it's hard to believe that I'm now old enough to be a mom.  This feeling really hit me last week when my girlfriends from high school and I got together with all our kids.  Dee Dee was in town so we decided to all get together at Jana's condo.  5 moms and 9 kids.  Us girls didn't really finish any conversations and it was definitely a bustling afternoon, but it was so much fun.  I caught myself looking around a couple times just marveling at the fact that all of us (who mostly met in elementary school or junior high) now have kids of our own and are still just as close of friends!  We missed Jessica though who just as we were all hanging out was in the middle of labor!  Congrats to the Kilburns and their daughter Paige Elizabeth!  Welcome to the Mom Club, Jess!

Thank goodness for the indoor trampoline!

Eliana, this is Nate.  Nate, this is Eliana. (Nate was exhausted from all the activity)

Getting closer....

Success!

And now the moms' turn

So good to see you Dee Dee!  Nate loved meeting you!
