it's almost been a week...

since our great play date!!


to be completely honest, i was a little bit worried that this family squish, in full force, the total trifecta, might be a little bit... overpowering?... overwhelming?... overstimulating?... for our bloggy friends kris and x.

but, i think i was wrong...

x jumped right. in. and his mama dazzled my boys, who asked for d.a.y.s. afterwards, "mama, where is miss kris?!"

so, to our newest bloggy-turned-in-real-life-friends... can we do this again? soon, please?!
