Ahh... Young Love ;)

We watched Chase's girlfriend Lydia the other day... and OH MY did they have a BLAST together.... no kidding, these kiddos didn't want to be apart for one minute!

Here they are chasing each other up and down the hallway, from room to room! :)

Even though it was SUPER cold, I walked them to the park since they were starting to get stir crazy being inside all day...

Hey Mama, I'M HAVIN' FUN!

Lydia didn't know what to do with the leaves at first, but then really liked the way they made noise when she smacked them :)

Here they are in action!

Awww, what a beautiful little girl...

Here we are, packing up to go... and what does Chase do?

He goes in for a KISS!!!

Lydia gets a little shy... :)

Here is the little cutie pie having fun with me (and watching the traffic go by) as Chase took a nap...

What a sweet little girl... makes me want to have one ;)

I must say though, having two kids (the same age) on rotating nap schedules was challenging... but wow, did we have tons of fun (and tons of GIGGLES!)!

Talyor 5 Year Reunion

Has it seriously been that long?!? or... has it ONLY been 5 years?!? I don't know which describes it better... but it seems weird that chapter of our lives is now being marked by '5 year' increments.

Here are two of my lovely roommates... who are two of my closest friends (sorry I never call you guys)

Here is a pic I just found from our college days! Sorry Shan, I can't find a digital one of you :( I guess I will have to scan all my negatives in one of these days (wasn't life before digital so, so... stone age?!?) But here is our other roomie Jen :) YAY JEN!

(oh my goodness! Do I actually have some color?? aka - days before the dermatologist)

Chase met up with Lucas, who is a month(?) younger and like 110th Percentile... ahh, Chase, you are destined to be tall someday, I just know it... at least taller than your Mama! :)

Of course, they both wouldn't look at the camera at the same time (ANY TIME) but they were super cute playing together among the college students who watched them like they were a rare species... which I guess you COULD consider babies a rarity on a campus ;)

Lucas' mom texting in the background, as she and I 'herd' the boys away from the non-baby-proofed bulletin boards where brightly colored tacks were conveniently placed at child level... thanks college students! ;)

I didn't get to take any other photos of the weekend, as I was busy running after our little guy... but it was fun to see old friends and professors :)
