A huge part of our lives this past year and a half has been our Baltimore "family," the Rivera's. Both of us have families that live outside of Baltimore so we began to depend on one another for things that you would from your family if they were in town. They only lived one street over from us so it was so nice to have neighbors close by that you could rely on. If we were ever in a bind or needed something, they were there to help us out. Several months ago we started a monthly babysitting exchange with them so that we could have regular date nights with our spouses. It was great to be able to spend time with their daughter, Maria, and to see the friendship develop between her and Lucy. And the free babysitting was a huge bonus! We are going to miss the Rivera's so much! They have been wonderful friends to us and Lucy is absolutely crazy about Maria. Every time we would pass their house Lucy would ask if she could go to, "Maria's house."
Here are pictures of Katie and I. Although Lucy is going to miss Maria, I am pretty convinced that I am going to miss Katie more.
Both Don and Chris as just crazy about their daughters!
This picture was taken several months ago during a babysitting exchange. Of course we had to put them in matching pj's!
It was always so much fun to give the girls a bath together!
Maria is looking at Lucy like "girl what is up with that hair!"
Maria is great at giving hugs-Lucy not so much!

Oh my gosh, I am so touched by your post!!! We are really missing our Baltimore "family," and seeing posts like this make us miss you guys even more. I seriously feel a void now :( We need to plan a visit soon so we have it on the calendar.
On a lighter note, did you notice how Maria fills out those PJ's WAY more than Lucy, and I am pretty sure they were both size 18 months...lol!
