For those who don't know, Gabriella is the daughter of my dear friends, Ben and Stacey, whom I have known since middle school. Stacey and I always seem to be in the same "place" in life at the same time, and I love getting together and chatting it up about our lives; which always seem so similar! As a matter of fact, last summer when she came down, we met and were chatting about our decisions to start a family...turns out we got pregnant at the exact same time. Gabriella was born May 17, exactly one week ahead of Ryleigh's May 24 appearance.
The GREAT news is, that Ben will finish up school in December, and they are moving back to Spring- literally right around the corner from my house. I cannot tell you how excited I am to know that Stacey and I can meet up for walks, and have play dates with Gabriella and Ryleigh, teaching them that other people DO exist outside our little bubbles of home life. It is going to be awesome.
Anyway, I know the real reason you are reading this post, so without further adieu, here are the adorable pictures from their meeting.
YEA for baby girls who look like their Daddies!
Ryleigh kept trying to grab onto Gabriella, pulling her shirt, holding her arm, and even stuck Gabby's hand in her mouth! (Stacey caught it on camera, and it is such a cute picture!)
Cheese! (for Stacey)
Cheese! (for Melody)
Awww-- these girls are going to be great friends, I can already tell.
Stacey,Thanks so much for taking time out of your hectic visit to come see and play with us! Ryleigh has already been asking when we can invite Gabriella over for more play time, and I told her I was more than ready to have more "chat" time with Gabby's mommy! We love you!

Hooray for Playmates! Hope these 2 are as close as their mother's have been!
So I was showing Josh the cute pics of Ryleigh last night and he made the comment that she looks like Jesse, especially in the eyes. He usually doesn't make comments like that, so I thought that was kind of special. Just wanted you to know.
