good times...

it was a short trip, but was packed with good friends (including celebrities!), amazing food/drinks, and two little ones with whom i did not get to spend enough time.  but i finally got to meet them, so i'm satisfied... for now.  we finally got some pictures together, including a photo strip taken at a restaurant where the cast of one life to live was also dining (ok, it wasn't the whole cast, whatever).  probably the hardest i've laughed in a looonng time.  we spent time with her sweetie, got a tour of the CSI:NY stage, and had the most wonderful rice balls that have ever been made... risotto, parmesan, mozzarella, provolone, fried - where can you go wrong?  saw julia stiles that night, no biggie..  JULIA STILES. made eye contact. with julia stiles.  best celebrity sighting yet. for me anyway, my bf's seen ben affleck, 'nuf said.  

we saw jane and the girls on saturday for brunch/lunch at a french bistro in south pasadena.  walked to the square afterwards and let camille and evelyn walk/run around on the library lawn - or just kept camille from playing with all of the strange dogs around...  i loved seeing these girls, one) because i missed my boys so much and two) because they have the same personalities, i mean, exact same personalities as mine.  i could see the minute we walked into jane's house that all the pictures i'd seen were so true, that liam was so much like evelyn and camille and finn were two peas in a pod.  e+l, so outgoing/loud/attention-grabbing and c+f, quiet, observant, sweet, sweet, sweet little ones who don't always allow their twins to steal the show.  i wished we could have spent more time with them, but naptime came quickly, and i understand the need for that!

here are a few pictures i took - not enough, but definitely good ones.  

man, i love this girl.

and i really love this guy!

finally together in the same state!!

camille: no, i will not keep this sunglasses on.

evelyn: i will, if you look at me instead of her :)

good times all around. heart.

bf.
