The Aunties came for a visit last weekend and we had a nice long weekend of wedding dress shopping (Katie), admiring belt buckles (Erika), showing off babies (Rachel and me), and gossiping (all of us). It was so fun to have an uninterrupted weekend of BFF time, which we haven't had just the four of us (and Cindy, too) for several months. I miss them already! Then again, I feel so lucky to have Rachel, Trevor and Logan only a short drive away, and we do our best every time Katie and Erika are in town to show them how fabulous our lives are here in Oregon, should they be tempted to move back.
The four of us girls planned ages ago for a 30th birthday trip of sort. Of course, then, we thought we'd be rich adults by the time the next decade rolled around. We spoke of Italy, and Tahiti, and other grand plans. But alas, that is not so. We have partners to tend to, houses to care for, dogs to walk, kids to love, weddings to plan, races to train for, and jobs to work at - all which hinder such grand adventures. Then again, with the four of us together a simple trip to the grocery store can turn into a grand adventure. We are planning for a long weekend in Monterey in October - I'm dreaming of spas, hikes, wine, dessert, and plenty of time to talk, reminisce, and sleep in.
Here are some pictures from our weekend visit together:
The girls - and Francie too!

I wouldn't dare post the photos I took of Katie as a beautiful bride-to-be in a variety of different wedding dresses, as that would ruin the surprise, but here she is hiding in the dressing room.
How stinkin' sweet! Logan seems to like Francie's hands and feet.
Breakfast club.
Dress shopping.
Auntie Katie - the fun one.
Mama and the Bean - she loves to shop, too.
