Cheers!
We had the great good fortune last weekend to host at the ranch two of our most esteemed bloggy colleagues: Atomic Mama and Somewhere Else’s J. and her little one E.!!
I have permission to post some photos from the grand event, which culminated in E. teaching The Bee how to do “cheers!” at the table with our glasses. Now, The Bee is fanatic about it–no water, wine, milk, juice, tea, coffee, or other obdurate beverage shall pass our lips without the ritualized clanking of glasses. What took us so long to show her this little wonder of mealtime?
J. and the girls:
E. swoops in for a hug, and The Bee stings in response!
A.M. looks on to the pool shenanigans:
What’s so funny?
E. is like, WTF is she doing?
Blogger Buds:
All five of you are gorgeous! Looks like y’all had a lot of fun.

So cute! I like the picture where E. is like, “Er, are you sure you want to drink that?”

Oh, this feels my heart with joy to see Miss E and Miss Bee together - even more so, to see J and AM at the Ranch. What fun - glorious, girlfriend fun! I’m so glad J could run off out West for some gal-pal love. Cool. Way cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Isn’t learning Cheers as basic as asking where tha bathroom is located? Glad the Bee is up to speed. And, isn’t meeting up with other bloggers great fun? For me, it has been such a bonus of the journey.

love, love, love seeing all of you girls together. The little girls look like they had a blast together, and the big girls look beautiful. Hope you had as much fun as the pictures look.
Glad you were able to get together.
Glad to hear the Bee did so well with her tubes. You gotta love hearing someone(a dr no less) telling you that they think your child will be a rocket scientist. No doubt I am sure it is true!!
