Big Love

How lucky are we? Since we first gathered in 2007, the Rosemont Mamas, our amazing playgroup, has grown and grown with the addition of second and now third babies.

We gathered on Memorial Day, at the home of Lisa, Donald,Patrick and Madeline Thomas for a lovely BBQ, a bon voyage for the Barnes family. It was glorious, even the 100-degree temps couldn't put a damper on the fun, which included a waterslide-moonbounce (do they make these for adults? I'm in).

Yes, more tears, of course, starting when I glimpsed the cake and finally realized that we are indeed leaving (frosting never lies) and ending after a beautiful toast, a thousand thank yous Lisa, I remain so touched.

We are so blessed to have these incredible families in our lives. I know there we'll make other pals in the UK, but it won't be this incredible bunch.
