This morning Charlie had the great pleasure of partaking in a very special tea party just for two.  Ms. Megan and her mommy, Mrs. Lindsay, wanted to throw the girls a little best friends send-off; a proper goodbye.  Not only did our gracious hostesses pour tea and serve  cookies and muffins, but a read-aloud of Lindsay&#8217;s favorite book, &#8220;Fancy Nancy&#8221; was included as entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>We were so surprised at how good they both were at the table!  They very daintily drank their &#8220;tea&#8221; (apple juice) from espresso cups (with both hands) and said Please and Thank You.  Oh, I&#8217;m pretty sure they both snaked some extra cookies, but who cares when your toddler is acting like such a lady.<\/p>\n<p>It was definitely one of those moments I will always cherish.  And who can deny the smocked dresses that make Ms. Megan and I both swoon&#8230;it will be so hard to leave my clothing kindred spirit (only one of the many reasons I love this girl!)&#8230;I know Ms. Megan is a self-described Yankee, but Lawdy, I think she&#8217;s a Southerner at heart! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SBSWTmRYI\/AAAAAAAAFMg\/crbYE80yNvA\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B006.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637999760033154\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-006.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SBR0OJySI\/AAAAAAAAFMY\/WPzHcUgUXKk\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B008.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637990610389282\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-008.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SBRunpkKI\/AAAAAAAAFMQ\/xO2xelUhtD8\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B015.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637989106716834\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-015.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SAz_c-PgI\/AAAAAAAAFMI\/q_zn5G8qEnA\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B024.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637478229261826\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-024.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SAzhJ9ORI\/AAAAAAAAFMA\/t9LFlClpEQ8\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B033.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637470096439570\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-033.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SAzPNTh5I\/AAAAAAAAFL4\/0CPMwbQQvF4\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B036.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637465278646162\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-036.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SAyINBvnI\/AAAAAAAAFLw\/iXszYeeKktU\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B040.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637446218563186\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-040.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/S-SAx2vsSgI\/AAAAAAAAFLo\/oHox-3MNmK4\/s1600\/5-7-2010%2B041.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468637441532119554\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/5-7-2010-041.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our days in Chicago grow shorter we&#8217;ve been trying to soak up as much time with good friends as we can.
