Playdate with Sadye

...or as Anya often calls her "A-B-C-D" (C-D / Sadye, get it?) This was a rare occasion I remembered to bring a camera on a playdate.

We don't get to see Sarah, Jeff, and Sadye too often since they moved all the way to Timbuktu (otherwise known as Sammamish), so it was a treat when Sarah and Sadye had to run some errands in our neck of the woods today. We met up at Meadowbrook, our favorite playground in the area.

Seesaw. A nice mom at the playground got behind Sarah (who took the picture) and waved her arms and made silly sounds to get the girls to look in the direction of the camera.

Holding hands (Sarah told the girls to hold hands and keep each other from falling into the creek just to the right of the picture)

Yesterday we got to have a playdate with Anya's old PEPS friend Ardashir. We haven't seen him since July. The babies have changed so much since then! Ardashir is quite the talker, like Anya, plus he's really good on his feet (unlike Anya). They spent some quality time reconnecting and I got to reconnect with Julie (his mom) as well. Oh, they have the same birthday too. But Ardashir is about 12 hours older and that much wiser. Good times were had by babies and hopefully it won't be another 3 months gone by for another get together.

Race up the stairs. Anya wins, but only because Ardashir was delayed briefly by mom.

Yesterday Anya got some quality time with two of her friends. I watched Noah for the morning and then later on Flynn came over for a visit.

Anya sidles up to Noah, hoping he'll share some of his crackers with her (he eventually gives in - who can resist that sweet face?)
