We had lunch with mommy and daddy's friends -- and I made a new friend, too!


I was so busy playing and unpacking that I did not get to post this while I was still in Napa.

Daddy's college roommate, Chris, and mommy's RCIA friend, Madeline, live just outside Sacramento with their daughter, Darcy. When mommy and daddy found out that we were coming to Napa, they emailed Madeline and Chris to see if they were available for lunch. Thankfully, they were! Mommy and daddy were very excited to see them again, and to finally meet Darcy (she also has a blog)! Last they saw each other was several years ago at daddy's other college roommate Steve's wedding.

Madeline suggested Taylor's Refresher in St. Helena, saying that they have "the best cheeseburger ever in the history of the world." Mommy knew she had to be right. Whem mommy took the bar exam, she stayed with Madeline (who was in law school at McGeorge then) instead of staying at the hotel with those annoying law students who like to compare answers and discuss the test at the end of each day, and they went out to dinner every night. Mommy was so impressed by Madeline's fantastic taste and ability to find great restaurants that when it came time to choose a place for lunch, mommy knew Madeline wouldn't disappoint. And, as usual, she didn't. We enjoyed a lovely lunch last Saturday.

Darcy is a few months older than me, and as someone older and wiser, she gave me some helpful tips on crawling, standing and eating solids. What a nice girl! I hope to see her again soon.
