When I first started blogging I "met" Allie and we quickly found out we had LOTS in common. The first big similarity was that we were both pregnant with baby girls and we were both due in
October. Then we found out we both went to Baylor, were elementary education majors, AND were in the same sorority {Alpha Chi Omega} just a few years apart. Then when we thought we couldn't have anything else in common we both decided to give our daughters double names. We also both made cross country moves from Texas to the east coast in the middle of our pregnancies. Our lives were eerily similar. Once our girls were born the similarities continued. Both little ladies have blonde hair and blue eyes, are very social, hit milestones at almost the same time points in their little lives, and have similar sleeping habits.
Even with all of these similarities we had never crossed paths other than in blog land. Needless to say we were anxious to meet in person. So when the hubs said he had a chance to visit North Carolina on business I jumped at the opportunity to visit Allie and Raleigh Grace. Sadly only a few weeks ago the hubs found out he would only be in North Carolina for a few days and Allie and I had already planned lots of details of our trip. So I decided to go on ahead with our trip and Emma Claire and I drove six hours to meet up with Allie and Raleigh Grace. Yes you read that right. EC and I drove six hours to go stay with people I met over the Internet. Crazy? Maybe...but we have had a great time so far!
When we first got to their house Raleigh Grace was asleep. Once she woke up she finally got to meet Emma Claire! They weren't too sure what to think of each other
They hit it off and started "sharing" toys immediately.
Emma Claire was fascinated with Raleigh Grace and followed her around constantly.
They played together and entwined their feet. So precious. The only thing that's cuter than one pair of baby toes is two.
Snack time.
Getting ready to go to dinner.
Keeping it classy at Wendy's.
This morning the girls shared some Cheerios.
We are having a blast and are SO thankful for our sweet hosts. They are letting us crash in Raleigh Grace's room and use her crib. I can't wait to see how much more trouble these two can get into this week!

After our fancy dinner we headed to Wal-Mart. The girls managed to get two matching outfits out of the deal.
This morning the girls shared some Cheerios.
I. Love. This. Picture. How sweet are these two!?

SO fun! I'm glad y'all got to meet & the girls are hitting it off. One of my best friends is a girl from blog land! :)
I want these two girls to be the bestest of friends. Keep us posted about their sweet friendship.
I love meeting bloggy friends! we need to meet up sometime for sure! My brother just moved to Ft. Worth and his girlfriend lives in South Lake...isn't that where you're from?
I have been following both of your instagrams, your girls are TOOOOO adorable together!!!
LOVE the pic of them sharing cheerios and the ones on instagram of them in their matching outfits!!! :)
Ah you are killing me with the girlie cuteness! That would be so awesome to meet a bloggy friend. That is so cool. Haha it does sound a little creepy that you drove 6 1/2 hours to stay with someone you met on the internet, but oh well, I would totally do it too.
