Like Sisters

When Surali finally arrived upstate neko approached me and said ‘ima, surali and me, we are sisters

Need I say more:

By the way, the weekend marked a first for us - a sleepover - a pajama party - although both moms spent some time sleeping in with the girls in twin beds - it still counts!

I’m Going Back To Cali

I forgot to mention our cali shopping trip (thanks nina for the tips): neko picked up on my obsessive compulsive coveting and walked into the third store, took off her shoes and pants and proceeded to ask to try on something cute and fancy.

This happened again in the fourth and fifth store.

A credit card may be in order.

California Girls

More than my love for sunshine

More than my love (and everybody in the universe really) for vacation/ long weekends

More than my love for architecture (see Getty Center below)

Yes, even more than my love for potato chips (peter must be gasping for air)

Deeper than all of those runs neko’s love for elodie.

It’s all really Inexplicable and wonderful.

Neko kept wanting to know if it was time to go to Kallifuurnia (she has a little southern drawl these days) to see her friend elodie and dress up all fancy. The girls have a really cool bond (we never pushed them or forced them to like each other which makes it all the more sweet) and fall into play so seamlessly each time they meet, i love watching from the sidelines…especially when their conversation goes like this:

elodie: neko….neko….neko…..neko

neko: says nothing

elodie: neko….neko…neko….

neko: what

elodie: hi

Below is evidence of shreiking with delight at the icy venice beach waves, along with her BFF:

Chalaron Ladies Wild wind Getting toes wet Delight Scared but lovin it Little toes - lots of sand Trying not to get soaked Big wave Jump Wishing she could dive in Beach babe Pull Soaked Lookin like a beach bum

Watching Diego/Dora/Backyardigans or some other show whose tunes i know all the lyrics to (and sometimes hum on the subway):

Love Sunset Girls Probably watching Dora Two pretty ones Ready for bed?

Running through the wonders of the Getty Center, not paying attention to us beggin them to slow down:

Peer and my shadow Shoot Blue eyes The view Buganvilia Garden Girls Tree pose Maze Little man in the grass Franck pondering nature Self Portrait Don't pick the flowers Floating things The scene Leaving

And finally, the wedding, the getting ready with nail polish, the twirling in their dresses and the crazy dancing they did for about 3 hours straight (yes, neko did insist on showing the entire wedding party her underwear at all times):

Not a princess like pose Tickle Hug Where'd those girls go? Dressy Fancy Hair clip Sebastian doesn't like hymns Steps Flower power Spontaneous BFF's Violet The couple - official Jet lag Cuties

Can’t wait for Andree + Franck to post their version….

Can’t wait till the two start setting up their own play dates!  Here is to our two gorgeous smart funny sweet girlies growing up as friends…..
