....We went on a walk with Shelby and Baby Charlotte

Any day spent with Shelby is a great day. And today was particularly fab because we walked from her house to It's A Grind for some caffeine therapy. Jayden LOVES playing with her 3 kids (Abby 6 , Nate 4, Charlotte 6mos) and their dog Hezzie. So much so that her role playing at home often involves calling Shelby on her toy phone and chatting with Nate and Abby.
Shelby is an awesome encouragement to me spiritually and physically -- lately she's been kickin' my butt with her Plyometrics and Core workouts (she is a personal trainer and teaches Pilates at a few local gyms). After our killer walk we hung out a bit at her house so that Zachary and Charlotte could spend some time hangin' out. Zachary absolutely lights up at the sight of her - it is going to be such fun watching the 2 of them develop a sweet friendship.
