Emily, Nathan and Katherine at the Superchick concert

We believe that we should not let a baby change our life - Ha Ha! Seriously, Katherine has changed our life immensly, but we do believe that we still have a life. So, we have taken her to do just about everything we would want to do. This weekend we took her to a rock concert. Now, before you freak out on us, it was an outdoor concert, so it was not quite like taking her to a concert at the American Airlines Center.

We went to see Superchick at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. George, Shannon, Emily and Nathan joined us. We set up a nice picnic area where we thought we were far enough back so that it would not be very loud. We were wrong, so we eventually moved. We had a nice picnic and the kids ran around. I don’t know where Nathan gets all his energy. He did a dance that he said was inspired by jumping rope. Katherine did pretty well. She slept for part of the time.

Christy, Katherine, Karin and Katelyn

Karen and I have been friends since we were born, she is 6 weeks younger than me. Our moms are still best friends. When we were young we would play together all the time. Our favorite thing to do was to play dress up in our mom’s old nightgowns. For some reason we thought they were pretty. We would also make up dances. Each Christmas our families would get together with another family and the kids would do a pageant. The much coveted role in the pageant was the angel that came to Mary, Joseph and the shepherds. We liked that role better than Mary because the costume was prettier. We would go eat at the Magic Pan in Northpark and go shopping with our moms until we were older. Sadly, the Magic Pan is no longer there.

Our moms are still best friends and they are so excited because Karen and I both had baby girls this spring. Katherine and Katelyn are 3 months apart. This week we got together with the three generations of girls for the first time at Mi Cocina. We look forward to many more get togethers and the grandmothers look forward to when the girls are old enough to go shopping at Northpark.
