Birthday in Bisbee!

This past weekend we went to Bisbee to celebrate our friend Jacob's birthday! It was a grand ol' time as always. Have I told you guys how in love I am with Bisbee? I am. It's an adorable little town that looks like a taste of Cinque Terre, Italy...or perhaps even Boston. As we walked to get coffee this morning, we were talking about how we love that the shops are mixed right in with the residential houses...that is I guess what reminded me of Boston. I love that feeling of being able to just walk down the street to get coffee, or around the block to get bacon.

Houses scattered about on the hillside. Perhaps I should mention that everything is on a hillside in Bisbee. Lots of stairs to climb everywhere you go.


Mamas and da babies...


Papas and their sons...


Ezra was a little overwhelmed by all of the options at dinner...


He ultimately decided on breastmilk, sweet potatoes and navy beans...with bread for dessert. (We had been keeping Ezra wheat-free because we suspected a slight wheat allergy, but truth-be-told, we resorted to the bread as a source of entertainment...the guy loves bread...and well, we have now confirmed that yes indeed, he has an allergy-or at least has a sensitivity-to wheat...his cheeks were ultra red when he woke up and continued to get more and more red throughout the day).


By the time dinner ended, Ezra was ultra cuddly, and fell right to sleep when we got back to our room.


With all of the kiddos in bed, the mamas and papas played board games! It is so fun to get together and have a slumber party with friends. I mean, how often does that happen in adulthood? Not often enough if you ask me. After gaming, we talked and dreamed about how great it would be to live on a commune where we could raise our kids together and just live in community with one another. I hope we really can do that someday. And, Megan don't worry...we have a casita for you too! :)

One of my favorite things about our group of friends is how the adults all love on the kids, no matter if they are theirs or not.
