E and E

Last weekend we were lucky enough to have Erica come visit us. Just so you know, Erica and I have been friends for 38 years!!! (Yes, we met in the maternity ward on the day we were born--how did you know?)--cough cough.

Elizabeth adored Erica (how could she not?) and even managed to say her three syllable name "Ettata"--or something like that. We were sorry that Jonathan and Mark and Grandma Barbara couldn't be here. We are hoping to see them next time for sure!

Elizabeth had fun running around Fashion Island with Erica and mama. We took her to a pretty nice Italian Restaurant and she managed to behave "almost" all the way through lunch. Neiman Marcus was another story. NM store is designed so that in order to get to the restroom one must walk through the designer dress section. It was an unanticipated and unfortunate event when Elizabeth ran into a Gucci silk dress and decided it looked like a napkin. No joke.



I wish that I had gotten to take more photos when Erica was here--but the time went so fast and we were having such a good time that many photo opps got by me.



Elizabeth was so eager to hang around with Erica and she made sure to bring Erica her shoes and coat each time we went out. She has also evolved into wanting to be "helpful". Here she is "helping" Erica with her jacket.



Okay, so if you are wondering if Elizabeth took to Erica. Well, here you have it.



So did Elizabeth enjoy having Erica around? Take a look at this and tell me what you think.


And you wonder why Elizabeth woke up look for "Etata"?
