Our dear friends, Amaya & Julian and their 4-month old baby, Andrew, were in town this weekend. It was wonderful to finally meet Andrew and introduce Miss Lily. We met up at the Arboretum for its "Goblins in the Garden" festivities.
Of course, Kate looked everywhere for the goblins and when she didn't find any, asked me to ask an employee if there really were any. Much to her dismay she was told it was "just the name of the event." Rats.
My other USC film school buddy, Amy, and her son, Oliver, also came out to frolic and meet Lily.
Amaya said she'd already forgotten how little newborns were.

Lily was captivated by beautiful Amaya.
While waiting for our friends, Kate made a Halloween necklace and checked out the creepy crawlies on display.
"I'm the witch's tongue!"
Andrew and his proud papa, Julian.

Oliver and his pretty Momma.
Amy, who is 7 months pregnant with a baby girl, was happy to see how affectionate Oliver was with Lily.
"Take a picture of me in the skeleton, Mom!"
After baking in the hot sun for too long, Kate and I cooled off in the greenhouses.
The greenhouses were full of exotic and carnivorous plants, and deliciously fragrant, reminding me of our honeymoon in Thailand. Kate wanted to know all the names of the plants, of course, but unfortunately, Mom is ignorant of all things botanical.
Lily pads! Kate hopped like a frog for this shot.
This plant reminded me of Little Shop of Horrors, freaking me out.
It was wonderful to catch up with Amaya and Amy and see their beautiful bambinos. Happy Halloween!
