Tupelo Honey

catching up.

halfway through our NC trip from hell, bean and i were feeling well enough to drop by chapel hill for some face time with cori and my blake baby. we were so busy chatting that i only took a few photos… i love this one of the girls together, our future soccer stars (cori played soccer her whole life, including the collegiate level):

as i mentioned in the previous post, the original plan was to have everyone over to my parents house for a birthday party… but with only hrs left until the party started, and messages coming in from family members saying they were sick, we had to call everyone and cancel. i can’t remember the last time i was that disappointed, but deep in my heart i knew it was for the best. i couldn’t live with myself if one more person got sick, especially the kiddos. 

‘plan b’ quickly fell into place and those that didn’t have to travel too far/weren’t sick decided to meet up at a restaurant so we could have a makeshift mini family reunion/birthday party. 

clearly, madeline didn’t seem to mind the change of plans. 

that week was a total blur. at the time, we were all miserable… but looking back, it wasn’t so bad. it never really is, is it?
