A visit from Julie

Last weekend, we had wonderful visit with one my best friends Julie.  Julie and I have been friends since freshman year of high school, and although we don’t get to see each other often, we always pick up right where we left off.  Evelyn just adores Julie and it’s easy to see why.  Julie is a kindergarten teacher and amazing with kids.  Evie spent most of the weekend sitting on Julie’s lap, when she wasn’t dragging Julie around my the arm to show her all of her toys.  While Evie napped, Julie and I went for coffee and a little bit of shopping.  It has been FOREVER since I had the chance to do that with a friend and I really enjoyed it.  We went for an early dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant and Evie really had us laughing with her antics.  Julie couldn’t believe that Evie likes salsa.  Evie devoured quite a few chips and salsa without batting an eye, although she did pause to wipe off her tongue with a napkin when it got too spicy.  Then she decided that she really wanted to suck on the lemon from my drink.  Silly girl!  I wish I could say that she had the same appetite for her dinner, but she wouldn’t touch the chicken quesadilla that I ordered for her.  She did, however, eat most of the refried beans and rice from my plate.

After having so much fun with Julie, we were very sad to see her leave on Sunday.  Evelyn even looked around for Julie when she got up from her nap and asked ‘Where Ju-ee?”.  Don’t worry baby girl…Julie will be back soon!
