After getting snowed-out in February, we finally had a chance to get together with our friends the Candullos and the Muses -- and their little girls, Jaimie and Ava (far left and far right in the photo above). Of course, in the three months that have passed, the Candullos went from a family of 3 to a family of 4 (little Sam was born in April... hence the title of this post.)
Our weekend started at the Steppingstones Kid's Museum in Norwalk, CT. Morgan donned her safari vest and checked out the gorilla family.
Later, Morgan and Jaimie discovered a common bond in their mutual love of splashing in water.
After snack time at the museum, we headed back to the Candullos house for lunch and naps.
Unfortunately, the girls weren't down with the nap plan. Morgan and Ava didn't nap at all. Jaimie didn't nap very long. So, basically, they had more time to play outside.
In addition to all the play time, the weekend trip also gave Morgan and Ava a chance to work on their big sister skills.
Morgan asked if she could hold baby Sam, understood that she needed to be very gentle, and generally seemed awed by the whole experience. (Insert sound of Andy and Ariella breathing a giant sigh of relief here.)
Ava (whose little brother arrives in early July) was a total pro when it came to holding the baby.
On Sunday morning, after we had gorged ourselves on pancakes and bacon, there was still time for the girls to have a big Pajama Dance Party before everyone had to hit the road.
It was great to finally see everyone again, and meet little Sam.
Thanks, Heather and Frankie, for hosting us all.
