Long Distance Besties

When Phil and I lived in Texas I met a great friend while working at our resort named Damaris. About a month or so before Phil and I moved back to Michigan, Damaris was promoted and moved to Dallas. After we got back to Michigan and were blessed to become pregnant and it turns out just a few weeks later Damaris got pregnant also! 

Through being pregnant together and now having both of our little gals so close in age we've become so close being able to commiserate over the great joys and obstacles of being first time Moms. Since Damaris and little Emerie live back in San Antonio now we've decided that our girls should be pen pals and therefore long distance besties! It's been so fun to see how they've grown so similarly and they have a lot of the same quirks and actually have similar personalities it's fun to see!!

Since our girls are so similar I thought it would be fun since I'm trying to get back into sewing to make them matching pajamas for Christmas! With help from my expert Mom and her incredible high tech sewing operation I was able to make some pretty cute penguin pajamas that I just love! It was so fun to see Emmi in her pajamas and then put a picture of the two twinsies side by side! 

It's so special to have these memories of them together before they've even had a chance to meet. Then to my excitement and surprise Audrey and I received a very special package in the mail!

Can you even handle how adorable this Santa hat is! Damaris wrote Audrey's name on it for her and it is super cute! I absolutely love it! Then yesterday we got this gem in the mail also. 

It's a little hard to see since A's hand is in the way but it's a super cute owl pillow. Audrey loved it right away...she keeps putting it in her mouth which of course is her highest sign of affection. 

To top all of this excitement off I am so thrilled that I have been able to book a trip for Audrey and I to San Antonio in May so we can help Emerie celebrate her first birthday and to let our girls meet for the first time. It will be so great and I know they'll love each other and I'll get to see all of the great friends I made in San Antonio again what could be better!!
