a weekend to smile about

this weekend was such a good weekend. friday, jordan came over and visited with me and loralai. it was especially nice having her here for a little bit. i forget how much like family she is to me. i guess when you live with someone, there's always that connection. i remember getting ready to go out on the town, in college, with her and maribeth. i think i liked us all getting ready together just as much as going out. not having sisters growing up, she and maribeth ended up being the closest thing to sisters that i had. and after we moved apart, my wardrobe really shrunk.

me, kate, jordan, jenn and kelli

then saturday night i met up with some of my other college friends while they went out to eat. i showed up late b/c i had to feed the baby before hand, but still was able to be a grown up for a few minutes that night. and what a treat. that group of girls always makes me laugh. it was such a breath of fresh air to get out and be with my girlfriends and laugh.

.such a cute little baby in her dress.

on sunday todd and i got out of the house and went for a long walk at carolina beach around the lake. i think we ended up walking about 3.5 miles. the weather was perfect. and because it was so warm, i dressed loralai in something more Spring-ish -a dress. she's never worn a dress...and i have to say, she pulls it off nicely ;) she was such a cutie. she snoozed in the dress as we walked. it was suh a good and relaxing day. all weekends should be this good.

after all that walking: bath time :)
