A Friendly VIsit

My dear friend Sarah came to visit with her husband and new little baby daughter, Julia.  She is so cute.  I just want to eat her up.  There is no better feeling than having a baby asleep in your arms.  I can't wait!!  Zac and Paul, Sarah's hubby, finally got to meet.  They've been best friends for a while, just never had the chance to meet each other until this weekend.  Well Sarah and I believed they would be best friends and I think we were right.  Paul amused Zac by not only watching Bear Gryles with him, but acting amused as well.  He is a criminal defense attorney and entertained us one night with interesting/sad stories from his experiences.  We had a great time, there was only one problem though, they didn't stay long enough.  

Does he look like a natural?  We don't have much time to get Zac ready for newbornhood.  He will catch on fast I'm sure.  We just need to do some diaper training and crying tolerance and I think we're set.

What I have to look forward to in just a few short months.  Is this not the most precious moment ever?  Sarah was born to be a mother.  She is already a pro and her daughter is only two months.  She has that magical touch no one else has.  She's got a bounce that puts that baby to sleep in a wink of an eye.  I have a lot to live up to.

This was taken at our church just as they were getting ready to leave.  I really didn't want to have to hand Julia over, but they weren't going for my idea of leaving her behind with us.  

It was just as hard to say goodbye to Julia as it was to Sarah who've I've known for nearly a decade.  That's just how fast mine and Julia's connection happened.  

Thanks for coming and staying with us Mickelsens.  We can't wait for our trip to Vegas in April  We'll meet at the Rio buffet at 5:30.  Don't let us down now.  That is a joke unfortunately.  We just had to have some kind of plans made to ease the sadness of their departure.  A get away to Vegas was what we came up with.
