Baby, you can sleep while we drive

Let's take a jaunt across the Southeast to visit some friends, shall we?

First stop: Marley Kate Windley in Cary, North Carolina.
Marley is daughter of Melissa and Chris Windley. Melissa is an old "friend" of Carl's on whom he had a huge crush for the longest time before he met me. I guess I'm going to have to stop referring to her as "the ho" now that she's a Mom and successful entrepreneur (in fact, I think I have a crush on her now).


Second stop: Leo Cole Rainey in Chapel Hill, NC.
It was a joy to meet little Leo who recently moved to Chapel Hill from Brooklyn. His parents are Dave Rainey and Claire Campbell, two of the most creative and talented folks around. Claire has made a fantastic montage of Leo and Sophie that I hope to post later.


Third stop: Holly-Bell and D-Naughty in Greensboro, NC: BFF!!!

Fourth stop: Eli Craig Hubler in Huntsville, AL
One word comes to mind when I think of Eli Craig: adorable-precocious-looksjustlikehismama-into everything rascal! Son of Mike and Ivy Hubler, the two people who kept Carl from falling off the planet earth during his graduate school years. We love them so much and after avidly comparing notes with supermom Ivy over the past year and a half, were so happy to finally meet this young prince.

(Yes, that's a terrible picture of me!)

Fifth stop: Zachary James Lucia in Memphis, TN

Okay, so that's not two year old Zachary James. But we were foolish and didn't take any pictures with the Lucias, our dear friends from Washington D.C. who recently moved to Memphis, where Elizabeth teaches French at Rhodes College. Kevin is one of the very few people Carl befriended at law school, and when Kevin first invited us to dinner at their townhouse in Georgetown and asked us if we liked to sail, I was convinced Carl had hit the jackpot and befriended millionaires. Unfortunately, we soon learned that the Lucias are just as poor as the rest of us academic types but decided they were friends worth holding onto anyway! Kevin, send a picture of Zachary for the blog!
