Kiki & Cuppie




Kiki, is one of my very best friends (college roommate/maid of honor), and Cuppie is Kiki's wonderful mom. I love our "Hope College Family", we aren't just best friends we truly became a family and it is such a unique blessing.

 Kiki has been such an amazing friend since Jack has been born. When I lived out in the Chicago 'burbs and Kiki in the city, she would come out and visit me always bearing gifts and food. Then we moved to Alabama and only a couple of months later Kiki learned that her and Todd would be relocating to Richmond, VA. It has been so nice having each other to talk to about moving to new cities, the challenges and the rewards. She is one of those amazing, genuine, thoughtful, generous, sweet friends that you just feel lucky to have met. 

Even though Kiks moved, she makes sure to see Jack and I whenever she can. I feel like a total slacker friend since I haven't gone to visit her yet, but Jack is a little destructive at this time so I'm not sure we would even be welcome. She has flown into Chicago when I have been back home and this week down to Naples, (again always bearing adorable gifts that she travels with on the plane). 

Mom, Jack, and I met Cuppie & Kiki at the Waterside Shops Thursday afternoon. It seemed like the best location for Jack to crawl around and fountains to entertain him. It was the coldest day, about 60, but sunny so we wanted to do something outside even though the beach and pool was out of the question. I was just so happy to see both of them I could have cried! We talked, walked, and played with Jack for the next 3 hours. My only wish is that it could have been longer, but I will take what I can get. 

In need of a weekend with Kiki, Lolo, and Meesch! 

Thank you Kiki & Cuppie for visiting with us and for your friendship:)
