Today Brynna and I met up with a friend of mine (Natalie) and her daughter Adele. Brynna and Adele were born just a day apart from each other. Adele actually came 5 weeks early so the fact that these two get to grown up almost sharing the same birthday was a little bit of a fluke. Dr. Natalie(she's a chiropractor) and I met through LARS and both went from crazy drunken soccer hooligan-ladies to moms at the same time. Her and I are actually pregnant together again...but she further behind me this time...only 15 weeks at this point.
Anyway, it had been forever since I'd seen them. Natalie is one those friends who you can pick up with right where you left off like you were never apart. I really love that about her. Brynna and Adele were content being strapped into their strollers as neither Natalie or I have the energy to keep up with a toddler on the loose right now. We chatted about how different our second pregnancies have been and grazed on fruit samples. Brynna wasn't in the mood for anything besides blood oranges and eating one made her look like a little vampire. We weren't out for long but it was good to get out into the sunshine and reconnect with Nat.
I always forget how much I love shopping at farmers markets until I'm actually there. I love the freshness and "realness" of the food. I love the way vendors crack open anything and give you a taste. Something about shopping for food outside is incomparable to going to the grocery store. I meant to get some artichokes and heirlooms tomatoes but somehow let them slip by me. Oh well. Not a bad haul for $10. Look at the size of my avocados!
