Ellie has a little friend from church.  She goes by the name, “Papillon” on her mother’s blog.  Her mom and I get together every so often to walk and hang out.  (You can see Ellie and Papillon at a play date in this post.)  They live just a few blocks from us and we love having friends close by!  The other night, both of our husbands were out of town, so Emily and Papillon came over for dinner.  We both agreed that being together during the not-so-fun couple hours before bedtime was much to be preferred over being alone!

Before we left for our Alaska trip, I did a lot of sewing with some fabric that is covered in butterflies.  As we were sewing, I was excited to see the name of the fabric on the selvage edge – excited enough to take a picture of it!

For those of us not fluent in French, Papillon means “butterfly” in French.

See?  Papillon!  She’s famous!  We’re glad we’re friends with you!
