Nothing like a childhood friend

Alana and I have been friends since 1st grade. We grew up together and have always been part of each others lives. We lived together in Boston after college, moved separately to NYC and then back to Boston where we started our familes.

We had the luxury of watching our children become friends and enjoy each other's company when together. This winter Alana and her family moved to Maryland, but we will make the effort to see each other 1-2x per year.

Maeve & Alair really enjoy playing together and now that Paul is 2 years old (going on 4 in many ways--soo smart), he plays nicely with the "big kids" too.

Alana invited us to Rhode Island for the weekend where we spend our time at Paul's parents lovely home in Old Greenwich.

We played in their gorgeous backyard and hit the beach. We are hoping to make this an annual trip and may even rent a home in RI with them next Summer.

So amazing to watch your daughter adore your best friend's daughter. It was like watching a mini Danielle and mini Alana.
