my dear friend julie is visiting chicago from germany for a few weeks this summer. we were pregnant and have been adjusting to life with babies at the same time but a few countries apart. i have been much anticipating her arrival. silas and i had some quality backyard/baby pool time with julie and kai on tuesday. kai is so lovely. silas finally got to play with him in person instead of me pointing at kai's emailed picture on the computer screen: "silas, this is your friend kai! we will go visit him soon. you will be friends. he will teach you german and you will explore on your summer vacations together!"
kai begins his vacation in the states with style.
just as soon as they figure out how to write, there will be some serious penpal action.
as i suspected, julie makes motherhood look effortless.
