The French Connection

We had been counting down the days and the big event finally occurred... The Queen of France, her royal highness Suzanne and Sir Liam the Cute finally got their playdate! Suz, Delphine and Mark came over from France to visit Sir Liam (and us). Actually, the whole family was here for a mini-reunion. Mom and Dad O and Mom and Dad R were in attendance and in their glory, but Caroline and John were packing up their home for their move to Whidbey Island, WA and were with us in spirit. Suzanne and Liam hadn't seen each other since Liam was one-month-old, but they were two peas in a pod and were BFFs instantly. It was sad to see everyone go, and we wish that we lived closer to Suz and her parents so we could watch the Suz and Liam show on a daily basis. We will just have to plan a French family reunion very soon and maybe Baby Hilburn will be part of it too.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the grownups enjoyed hanging out too. Del and I did some shopping and chatted giddily about all things mommy, the guys did some manly bonding over the yard and the grill, and the Grandmas both doted on their grandbabies. Funny how life is centered around the little ones these days.
