She’s gone :(
(Thanks, Dar, for the awesome photo!)
Reasons to love this girl:
1. She makes me look tall.
2. I look ginormous next to her.
3. She makes me look tall.
Sorry, A. Had to. hehe. But really, I’m 5′3″, so it takes alot to make me look tall!
Needless to say, it was a wonderful few days w/ Alexis. Nice knowing that I’ll see her again in a month, too. 
The girls…well, they are 2. They act like 2-year-olds. They weren’t as into each other as they are on the phone. Perhaps because my daughter is a bit intimidating, and Sarah is a bit shy? Eh, they still looked cute in their little matching outfits:
(a pic from Alexis’ camera. I have yet to download mine!)
It wasn’t that they hated each other; on the contrary. I think Emily loved Sarah TOO much! Poor Sarah. At least Sarah really loved Zuzu and Gabe!
Oh, and I almost forgot…THANK YOU SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of your peer pressure, Emily has gone from 100% pull-ups a week ago to 80% potty-trained now! WOOHOO! This means she can actually attend preschool in the fall! Now if we can just work on getting her to do #2 in the potty and not be scared of public toilets covered in paper…
Beautiful photo of you and Alexis!!

Loved meeting Alexis and Sarah (or as Em sounded like she was yelling; “STELLA!!!”)

Gosh Tracey…your so….tall! LOL Your comment about your daughter’s potty training made me laugh. You think the public toilets covered in paper are bad…just hope that one of those automatic jobs doesn’t go off while she’s still sitting on it. It just about put my daughter back in pull-ups! (It didn’t help that once her little sister caught on to how it made her scream, she kept setting them off on purpose!..little stinker! LOL)

I just had a bit of a scare opening your blog. When I clicked on my link to your blog it took a minute for my browser to bring everything up and initially all I saw was the header, sidebar and the first line of your post - “She’s gone
” I thought it was your way of saying you had stopped blogging. I was so happy when my browser caught up and I saw you were talking about Dar and not you. lol
