Good Friends

On Tuesday, Violet and I met up with some San Gabriel Valley friends at a beautiful park in Montrose, about a half hour's drive away.

Violet had fun playing with Natalia and Heather, while Melanie, Juliana and I had a nice morning catching up.

This was Violet's first time wearing these stylish brown sneakers with laces; I remembered why I didn't use them too much with Cora when Violet spent several minutes sitting to knot them up. Cora did the exact same thing to these same shoes a few years ago.

Violet told me that she didn't like bows anymore; she likes knots. By the time we got home later that day, after she had some time in the car to work on them, they were knotted up halfway up the length of the lace.

Here's Heather and Violet showing the love as Heather and Melanie went home. The next time we see them, they'll have their next baby girl at home with them.

At the end of the week, we saw our other San Gabriel Valley friends, when JT, Jim, Callie and Jonah came up for dinner.

Jim got to go with Stace for a little ride in the MG, after he helped put the newly cleaned/painted wheels on.

I love this shot Cora took of my beautiful friend! Sweet Jonah will be turning 1 this week; Cora and Violet had a lot of fun playing with him.
