my heart is full

this weekend was wonderful.

my best friend erin, had her third little girl 2 weeks ago and after seeing her picture right after she was born, I couldn't get to Raleigh fast enough!

I planned to see erin and her girls, then spend the night with another best friend and see my goddaughter. I was so excited!!

of course, we all wrote the date down in pencil and crossed our fingers that no one got sick.

luck was on our side!

I headed up to Raleigh Saturday and spent the afternoon with erin, Jason, Hudson, Henley and tatum.

 sweet tatum! not even 2 weeks old. you forget how tiny they are!

 Hudson, her oldest

 Henley her middle girl ;)

 

erin was my matron of honor and has been my longest best friend. she knows everything about me and still likes me ;) seeing her and the girls and her wonderful husband Jason was so nice....it felt like home you know?

 

same with laura, laura and I lived together in college and she is one of my closest friends. I met jack at her wedding. her husband and mine grew up together and are best friends...and we are godparents to their daughter ryan....it was SO nice to catch up and actually play and hang out with cooper and ryan without the distraction of my kids.....I am telling you, my heart was FULL

beautiful ry ry with her twine and twig necklace ;) ry ry and I were like two peas in a pod. she was playing with my hair,. wanted to sleep with me, we are best buds now. spending that quality time with all the girls and cooper that day, was just perfect. AND, jack had a great time with the boys. he hasn't kept them by himself in a year, so it was time. they bonded, I bonded AND we were all so happy to see each other when I got home. now I know, whenever I need a break, I am coming to Raleigh to get a dose of my friends. forget the spa, that was JUST what my heart needed ;)
