My friend Fuzz

I have this great friend named Ami, that I've known since grade school. Somehow we have managed to remain close despite going to different colleges, and now living in different states. So many great memories we have collected together. Fuzz (her nickname from HS due to the hair) and I are road trip buddies. We have criss-crossed the country by car more than once and managed to not kill each other.

She's going to kill me for this though...


She is a tomboy in the true sense of the word. She grew up fishing her summers away with her grandparents in Northern Wisconsin. Her whole family are hardcore musky fisherpeople. Her license plate says, "esox luv"! (You'll have to look that one up.) Crazy, I know, but to each their own right?!;).

Anyway, like myself, Fuzz managed to hold out til the PERFECT person for her appeared. Carl is even more crazy about fish than Fuzz! What a score for both of them.

They got married a couple of summers ago and just two weeks ago became parents to sweet baby Carli. I happened to be in Wisconsin photographing a ballet the weekend she was born, so I headed up north after I was done to get a peek at the precious little thing. What a doll. I still can't believe that Fuzz is a mom. She's part of "the club" now and we can finally exchange baby stories! :)

I'm just so thrilled for you both and can't wait to see you again over Memorial Day. I know how fast they grow and I don't want to miss out on too much at a time!

Here are some pictures of the fishergirl at just three days old. Don't forget to check out Carli's SLIDESHOW.
