I have been a member of an online baby board on babycenter since September 2006. Once our little group of 20 women was established we made it private and have been together ever since. I got the opportunity this summer to meet a couple of the ladies and their families when we were in NY. They were just as great in person as they are online and I definitely wished I could see them more often!

I met with the first family, Connie, at the Ithaca Plantation where we had our family photo shoot done! Her little boy is about 6 weeks older than Jaidan so we’ve had a lot in common. She is expecting baby #2 in mid January! 🙂 I feel like we clicked right away, I absolutely love her! Truthfully I was jumping up and down and squealing like a giddy teenage girl inside. It was almost like meeting a celebrity! 🙂

She was our photographer for the day and got some great pictures of us!

My picture CD came in the mail yesterday and I was excited all over again. They are awesome, Connie! Thank you so much! 🙂 Here are a few of my FAVORITES!

We are looking slightly lost here, but I love it, because that’s us!

This is a typical picture of me. I didn’t learn to embrace it until I took the 2 day social styles class at work a few years ago. I was labeled as ‘expressive’. Go figure.

Look at that beautiful chuckle smile! GUH!! Makes me melt!

Jared being silly. I think he was trying to booty bump me with his hip. I love it.

I know it’s bright, but I just loved this view!!

Adorable little duck family!! Perfect shot, Connie!!

& of course we got some of the boys…

After our photo shoot we trekked to the other side of the world to meet the 2nd family… haha, okay maybe not the other side but it was a LONG ways away.  And it didn’t help that there was NOTHING on the way. But we did enjoy ourselves at a little girls 1st Birthday party! Heather has 2 little girls and I’m so glad we were able to celebrate with them! Here is all of us with our babies! 🙂
