Maddie and I flew down to Florida at the end of May for Sarah's baby shower. We all waited a very long time to celebrate this wonderful gift and the weekend was so fun. Jess and Carson came from CO; Shelley came from SC with Lourdes and lil Landon; and Jennie and Jackson flew with us from DC. We somehow managed to pull off a lovely baby shower at a beachside pavilion with 4 of us planning/preparing with 5 kids.
We sat all the kids down for a picture in their UVA shirts and it was so comical. The boys just were not happy about it. We got a couple shots off before the boys all lost it. Then we tried again with Sarah's belly in the picture with a tiny UVA onesie on and this time Landon stole the show with his histerics.
Jennie's son Jackson has gorgeous long hair and the girls (little and big) had fun playing with it. We gave him some pigtails and he was a good sport about it!
Jess shared some words about how happy we all are for Sarah and their baby boy!
Landon was happy......as long as mama was around. Lucky for Shelley (ha!) he developed a strong stranger/separation anxiety just in time for this weekend. She is such a great mom and handled it in stride and with grace as usual. He is such a sweetie!
Shelley, Lourdes, Sarah, Maddie and I snuck in a quick walk to the beach the morning we left. The weekend was so busy that we didn't get a chance to swim at the beach, but we did get to at least walk on it and see it!
Best pals: Lourdes and Maddie hugged each other for a solid minute as we were saying goodbye. We wish we all lived closer!!!
