So, I pretty much suck at this whole being a mom and blogging thing. I swore before Lucy was born that I wouldn’t let being a mom interfere with blogging because, let’s face it, I love letting you all know what’s going on in our lives (as much as I’m sure you love reading about it!) but, I’m always so busy in the mornings, and by the time I get home, I’m so tired I just crash on the couch.

I’m sure I will get back on track. Eventually. For now, though, it looks like another late update.

A few weeks ago, my two best friends from high school came to Chattanooga, so we drove up to see them (and my family, of course). I only see Penny and Christi a couple of times a year, and this was the first time Christi had met Lucy and I had met her son, Maks. We had a blast, as always, catching up while our kids played.

And, in case you’re wondering, Lucy and Maks are engaged. It was love at first sight. They played. Maks repeatedly tried to hug her and ended up tackling her. It was adorable. Aren’t they cute??

They promised to hold off on the wedding until they finish preschool. Whew! Oh, and since you can’t really tell in the pictures, Maks’ shirt says, “Future man of your dreams.” Christi said he wore it just for Lucy. Can I get an “awwww!”?

We had a blast. I can’t wait to see the girls again!
