Wednesday was my lunch with my dear friend Melissa. I had only really known her for a few short years before she moved to California last August.
Yet, she is just one of those friends... you know the type. That friend you always agree with, one you always laugh with, occasionally cry with, who always understands. A friend you can go for months on end without talking and then click right back together like nothing has changed!
Well one thing did change! Her daughter Natalie has grown like a weed! (okay Chris did too) We had such an enjoyable lunch at Red Lobster since Natalie is a sea animal nut and they don't have RL where they live!
Natalie is now 4 years old and had us cracking up at her enthusiasm over the Lobsters and singing songs to her popcorn shrimp. She spent most of lunch reading her favorite book on Sting Rays, and playing with the coolest matching, site reading, flash cards (ages 6 and up!) When I pointed this out to her mom she was surprised!
Natalie is beyond her years and Melissa is such a great mom. She even got Chris to eat 2 carrots and try the cocktail sauce! Okay, I'm not sure if paying someone to eat their veggies is a good idea but he did it for a $1. I don't think I'll be putting 'green' on the table next to his 'greens' anytime soon but Melissa had him laughing all through lunch.
Again.... I didn't have my camera! I am shooting myself!
Thanks Melissa and Natalie! We miss you already!
