Congrats to Lisa and Justin on their twins baby girls! More photos will be posted soon - including big sis who shares my love for the Sound of Music. Be prepared to wanna procreate after seeing this adorable family!

Over the holidays I visited one of my dearest friends' family. Richelle and I met in college as RA's (resident advisers) in a freshman-only dorm at Ohio State University. That year was a doozy, but I could count on Richelle to make me laugh, especially while singing on the top of our lungs. We've been through a lot together since then, but she's the kind of friend you can be yourself around and our silences are always comfortable.

So it doesn't surprise me that her son, Landon, is a very well-behaved, smart and adorable little boy. Richelle is a WONDERFUL mother. I had so much fun playing in the snow, visiting the light show at the Cincinnati zoo (including Santa), and playing with his new miniature bowling game. Richelle also has haircuts down to a science thanks to Landon's love of lollipops. He normally doesn't get any sweets, except for after a haircut. He sat so still, even with bits of hair falling in his eyes.


My heart just melts for this little kid.

Thanks to Richelle, her husband, Josh, and Landon for making my visit so special.

Love ya!

and of course, the rest of Milan's family.

I love this family!  Milan's older brother, Aryan, is as adorable as ever.

Milan is one easy-going baby and Aryan is full of boundless energy. I give total props to their parents for raising such sweeties.

Also, I'm completely envious of Aryan's retro toy kitchen from Pottery Barn. It is the cutest thing EVER (well, besides Aryan and Milan). It's a toy set that will give your toy room stellar style.

Thanks for the fun and exercise, Aryan and Milan!
