THEN and NOW

As many of you know, Charlie and I attend a playgroup each week. The group started when Miss Amber decided to invite some former co-workers and their babies over for a play date last June. Some of us invited neighbors and other friends with babies, and today we have eight mommies and nine (almost ten) babies in our group.

Well, it just occurred to me today that is has been an entire year since we started meeting our friends and their mommies for playgroup each week. I can't begin to tell you what a lifesaver it has been over the past year. The women in my playgroup are my sanity some weeks, and it has been so great having them to share the joys, concerns, and stories of first-time motherhood. I look forward to seeing our friends each week, and I am so thrilled that Charlie already has little buddies to grow up with. We love all of our playgroup pals!!!

Playgroup has certainly evolved over the year. When we started, the kids couldn't do much but lay on the ground. Now, we are chasing them all over the place. We haven't had a group shot of the kids in a long time (too hard to keep them all still), but I did get a few cute shots from playgroup today. Oh, how things have changed! See for yourself.
