Atlanta

Last night I returned from an annual trip to visit with four girls that I went to Bible school with 11 years ago. This year a fifth came along, TINA!! I was so glad to have a traveling buddy.

V was glad too.


He was thrilled to have someone else chew his finger for a while.


Our fabulous hosts...Laurie and Jonathan (also affectionately called JB amongst us)


Hostess#2 Elise...we had fun playing in the scarves in their terrific toy room/basement.



Hostess#3 Audrey wanted to join in on the fun as well.




We all had kids this trip... meet Evangeline, Elicia's 2nd child and first daughter.


This is Maggie (suz's daughter) sporting an apron I made for her. I attempted to call her maggie may, but she looked at me and said "I maggie GRACE". What pre-2 year old processes like that? She was so much fun.


Elise showing a baby blanket I made for her, when she opened it she ran and got a baby for it right away. She was such a sweet girl.


La was a busy chef, making us the best meals.


V was a happy guy the whole time..if you don't count waking up at least 3-4 times each night.


traveling pals, Tina and Mia


Target was the big outing for us, besides visiting la's church on Sunday morn.


from oldest to youngest


the babies




brought home a pretty necklace


we have this thing about bringing each other treats...lots of handmade goodies this year, and La shared some new music with us, I always look forward to that


5 years ago


presently....


It was a great trip, low key...surprisingly not hectic at all in my opinion considering all the kiddos this year. Always good to reconnect in person with these women. They refresh me and I love them.

Great pics, Mel. I am laughing at that one of Audrey and the princess hat. I see what happens when I leave the room!! Glad you made it home safely and even more glad to know it was a restful, non-hectic time for you. Thanks for your part in helping me be an easy hostess.

xoxoxo
