Moms Dina & Tracy met online by posting on a March 2000 Playgroup with a large group of moms with March 2000 babies from around the world.  They found out by posting that they had a lot in common and that their sons were born 2 days apart.  They arranged a meeting in February at Annapolis Mall and they've been meeting every so often every since so that the boys could play together...even though they live about an hour away from each other!

Our first meeting on Feb. 4, 2001 and our meeting on Aug. 25, 2001

Monday November 12, 2001 - Bobby & Nicolas meet at Annapolis Mall




In December of 2001, Tracy and Dina packed the boys in Dina's minivan and headed to New Jersey to meet a group of moms from our March 2000 board and their kids.  We had a great time and surprisingly the boys (and the moms) slept great all in one hotel room together for the evening and also did wonderful on the very long car trip (about 4.5 hours) up and back. 

Here's the group of kids, from left to right:  Bobby, Amanda, Peter, Jonah and Nicolas.

On June 15, 2002, Dina had a gathering at her home of the March 2002 moms and kids again.  We had a pretty good turnout there as well with 5 of the March 2000 kids, all boys, and the moms and some dads. 

 

 

 

December 16, 2002 - Bobby visits Nicolas and his new baby sister at Nicolas' home

March 2003 brought a time when both boys turned 3 years old.  Luckily Bobby's party was a week early, so we were able to attend that one and Bobby came to our house the following week to attend Nico's 3rd birthday bash.

Nicolas helps Bobby blow out the candle on his birthday cake on March 22, 2003.

 

Bobby returns the favor and helps Nicolas with the 3 candles on his birthday cupcake on March 30, 2003.

December 2003 brought us the first snow of the season and another visit from Bobby to our house so the boys could enjoy the day together.  Here they are in the snow on December 6, 2003.

We missed 2004! With the arrival of Nicolas' new brother Noah in July, we just didn't get around to meeting in 2004, but we did get together briefly at Annapolis Mall on January 16, 2005!

We had another meeting at Nicolas' house on November 12, 2005. Here are our two new kindergartners!
