Libby has affected this style of lounging in her stroller, and this laidback attitude fit in just right in Cali. That's right, Libster -- just kick back, put your feet up, and let Mommy do all of the work.
We hung out a lot with my friend Lorraine (who's been my friend for, oh, ever), her adorable daughter Lauren (who's 5 months old), and her also adorable husband Henry. I loved catching up with Lori and seeing her gorgeous family in action. They are truly terrific people. I wish they lived closer! Hey, guys -- have I mentioned how fun it is to live in Chicago?
Lauren proved to be a real trooper, too, and bravely fought off sleep so the mommies and daddies could enjoy a dinner out together.
Despite the fact that Lori kept protesting Lauren was "so crabby," I only heard a fussy whimper or two out of the kid. She might be the sweetest baby around. By the end of the trip, she was even letting me smother her in kisses and play with her without getting a boo-boo lip and looking around frantically for her mom or dad.
Libby and Lauren got along famously, and Libby only tried to pluck Lauren's eyeball out one time. Here they are at In-N-Out Burger. Yummmmm. In-N-Out Burger. Needless to say, the girls enjoyed their burgers tremendously. Or maybe that was Lori and I. Oh, well, either way, those burgers were darn delicious, and I'm an In-N-Out devotee for life now. (Hey, In-N-Out, have I mentioned how fun it is to live in Chicago?)
Now I'm not going to say that we wore the girls out or anything, but ...
Lorraine sent much better pictures than these; I'll try to post those soon. We miss the Lees already. Come visit us soon, guys!

How great to see the Hillcrest children raising there own kids and still being friends from those wonderful Hillcrest days. Friendships are forever and family is a continuation.
With love to everyone.

I'm glad Libby was such a good traveler! It sounds like she adjusted to her new schedule and surroundings beautifully. I sense a world traveler in the making! Glad you guys had such a fun trip!
I'm exhausted just looking at all that fun! It sounds like you guys had a great time.
Yum...In and Out Burger...we ate there for the first time last summer, and you better believe we're going back this summer! (Hopefully the Jesus freak will be there again, screaming at everyone at the outdoor tables). He was fun.
I'll bring Libby back a burger. And some information about Jesus.

Lauren is an absolute doll! I love the picture of the two of them crashed out. Very sweet! I'm glad you guys had such a nice getaway!

Well, In-N-Out had me wanting to scream "Praise the Lord!" Maybe that was the guy's inspiration, Jill.
Isn't that funny we have the same title! Great minds, huh?
Libby is adorable, and growing up so fast! Where does all that time go?
What a great little traveler! And you didn't even have to drug her on the airplane...right?
Kerri, you would have enjoyed your In and Out burger much better if I hadn't taken a big ol' bite out of it first! Whoooooops! I ordered the one WITH onions, not the one without :) We had a fantastic visit with all of you and it was so exciting to meet Libby for the first time. She's a true sweetheart and so very kissable. When you were here, I couldn't help thinking back to our pre-school days together --- and look now, we're both mommies! Where has the time gone? And how lucky am I to have a friend that has been in my life long enough to have seen the many shades of me and likes me just the same? Very lucky. The Lee Family Three must head to Chicago soon for a visit. We miss you already. xoxo Lor
