My friend Esther (she's so great) has long dreamed of being a mom and last year she and her hubs, Max, became pregnant with their first. Or wait-how do I say that? ..."announced they were expecting their first"? Hmmmm.

I digress.

We spent many a coffee date last year dreaming together about their coming wee babe. She was due at the end of December so we were hoping we could greet Baby before we left...but George didn't come until a week after we left.

I finally got to meet him this week and he is absolutely delightful. He even smiled when I tapped his cheek and cooed "Ah, he's soooo cute." Translation: He understands me and we are sure to be good friends in the coming years.

And Esther is already such a good mum-it was so fun to see her in this new role.
