Trip to New Jersey

Me and the kids drove up to New Jersey to Katie and Doug's house on Sunday night so we could be there for Meghan, Riley and Piper's visit. They live in NY and we became friends when our husbands were all attending business school. We hadn't seen Meghan or Riley since we moved to GA almost 2 years ago, but it didn't feel like that long since we get to watch picture and video updates on Facebook and blog. It is so nice that today's technology can allow us to be so much more connected than we were once able. I think the girls enjoyed, as Meghan put, "having their virtual friends come to life."



This was also the first time Katie, Meghan and I got to meet each other's newest addition. Piper and Jack were born two days apart. Piper on August 12th and Jack on August 14th. They are both 7 months now. Mark is just about to turn 4 months. Piper and Jack sat and played a bit with each other, it was very cute.
Jack was very determined to get the cow that Piper was playing with.



Piper was definitely living up to the stereotype that girls talk more than boys. Here she is chattering away, and even seems to be using the cow as a telephone. Meghan and Riley are teaching her well. :)



We even managed to get a picture of the 6 of them together. Ok, we did have to bribe the older ones with M&Ms. :) This picture cracks me up. Isabella and Jack both have something in their mouth, Riley and Piper are all smiles, and Gianna and Mark are both similarly unimpressed with the show that is being put on for them. :)
