Hope's first friend sleepover


I met Kristin the first day of 7th grade and we have been best friends ever since. We shared lots of great memories, trips, stories and endured the joys and heartaches together through the years. Even after all we have been through, I never thought that our first born daughters would be 27 days apart! Kristin and Bella live in Milwaukee and they came to visit recently. It was so fun to see them together and I knew that that Hope would have an instant best buddy in Bella.

We had a grandma visit at my parent's place. Bella and Hope's grandmas shared stories about how much they love having their little ladies (both sets). Kristin and Bella also came to visit Hope on her home turf. It worked out great and they were both on the same schedule for feeding and naps for the most part. It is really fun to compare notes and diapers to ensure that they are both on track. We had some Burnsville friends over on Saturday to meet the little ladies.

It has been great to have Kristin and I on leave at the same time. We know that we can call each other during the day to discuss feeding concerns, diaper blowouts, outfit changes and the joy of being a mom and CEO of the household (at least from 8-5). Being a mom is by far the best job ever...so glad we could talk shop.

Hope is excited to share more events and stories with Bella through the years. We plan to make a trip to Bella's cabin this summer. Last year we had a cabin weekend when Bella and Hope were just bumps in our bellies, so this year they can enjoy the cabin much more!
