A Wonderful Pit Stop On Our Way...

On the way down to New Orleans we made a super special pit stop!! We got to go see our best friends Brad and LeeAnn in Mobile for the night on Monday. It was awesome because we got to meet Miss Paige!!! As soon as we planned our trip, I knew that we would be making this pit stop to see the Wrights. It was a very quick visit (wish it could have been longer) but it was great. We got to visit and hold babies which was wonderful. It is always great to see Brad and LeeAnn and now their wonderfully sweet little girl. And sweet she was. LeeAnn had been warning us that she could be fussy at times. I don't even think she cried once the whole time we were there. Paige was so sweet and cuddly! Thanks for letting us spend the night with you guys!! It was so much fun. I hate we don't get to see them as much as we would like but I know we will be making lots more trips down there very soon!


Best friends already!!! LeeAnn and I have been friends since we were so very little. She is my friend in life that no matter what is going on she is always there! It is so awesome that we now have 2 beautiful little girls that are so close in age. They enjoyed their first slumber party!
All the kids. Don't you love how everyone is looking a different way?

Ben playing with his fun birthday toys from Brad and LeeAnn. Last night during prayers he said "Thank you God for Brad and LeeAnn." So sweet. He is always so excited to see them.
This is the picture I have been waiting for. LeeAnn Wright holding Katherine LeeAnn Eckley and Emily Eckley holding Emily Paige Wright. Yes, we named our little girls after each other. Ok so they really aren't named after each other because they aren't. I promise we didn't have some sort of pact since we were 10 that we were going to name our girls after each other. It just happened. Before we decided on the name LeeAnn for Kate I had to call LeeAnn to make sure it was ok to use it and she had to do the same for us. It cracked us up that we were both naming the girls "after" each other. But at least for us it is special that Kate does share her name with someone so great!

"Aunt" LeeAnn and Kate

Kate loved Paige's swing! She actually loved all of Paige's toys.

"Uncle" Matt and Paige. Paige was just so happy and smiled so much for us!! It was great.
