New friends!

In the "olden days," you made friends by getting to know people in close proximity to you - individuals with whom you cross paths on a regular basis.  This is not always the case in the modern world.  The internet is changing the way our society works, and friendship is no exception.  

Since early on in my pregnancy, I have regularly checked a message board specifically for people due the same month as me.  These women have been a great support group throughout pregnancy, and now, as we raise our little ones.  One day, I saw a post from a member that was moving to the area.  We kept in touch through the message board, and eventually, added each other on Facebook and our blogs.  Now we're "real-life" friends, and all because of the internet. 

Here is Will and his new buddy "E," both Dec. '08 babies.  They had a great play date at the mall today and even got matching final-clearance BabyGap shirts!  Shopping, adult conversation, AND happy babies all at the same time :-)
