NY Visitors

Friends from upstate NY came to visit this week. Last time we saw each other, Sophie was still in Maman's belly, so it was high time to catch up again.

Alexandra, Ella & Jeff.

Alex is one of the 1st Frenchie Maman met in KC &
she is from Strasbourg too. We attended the same high school
a few years apart. Small world for sure!

Moms doing what they love best:
catch up & take pics of their kids!

Ella & Sophie hit it off.

Secret hand shake.

Girl friends playing with filters on Snapchat.

Alex joined us after work as he didn't want
to miss out on Jose Pepper's food!

GBR

GBR = Go Big Red! Papa had the smart idea to bring his lucky charm to the game: Sophie. And the Huskers won. How about that!?!

How did Papa bribe convince Sophie to watch the game with him?
Junk food!

Can Sophie say "Go Big Red"?


Cotton candy...

Evening game : what a sun set!


And they won for the second time this season. Sophie for the win!
