hey meredith...for real!!!

well, this morning started out to be a pretty normal day... caroline was napping, ethan was reading books, and i was taking pictures of him. :) (check my next post for those.) and then we heard a knock at the door... i looked out the window to see whose car was in the driveway, but there was no car. instead, there was a man hunched over behind our van with a camera. i thought i recognized him, but i guess i dismissed that idea because i was awfully surprised when i opened the door to find this adorable little package on my doorstep.....

YEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! meredith drove all the way here just for me to hold her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boy oh boy was i surprised!!!! eric & kristi have been planning this trip for about a month so that we could meet these babies... and of course it's fun to see each other, too. :) oh how glad i was to see kristi jump up from her hiding place on my porch!!!

so it's pretty obvious that my day was MADE!! i'll write more about all of this later because it is waaaaaaaay past my bedtime! i'll share these pictures for now. it's gonna be a fun weekend. :) :) :) :)
