(ignore dates, this was written a few weeks ago right when we got home but i was slow to get all the pics in and now they appear all crazy but you get the idea) my girl is social. i truly think she was a mess today b/c she misses her bff and because she just finished a weekend full of meeting new people.

[/caption] we went on a baby tour to meet new babies in the Raleigh/Durham area that we haven't gotten the chance to meet. the friendships represent so much history, such beautiful pictures of our growing up, and it is a sheer joy to share these new little people with one another. the only catch in this dreamy picture i am painting is that i also left accepting the era of life that we are in right now.. it's foggy. meaning as much as you love someone and desire so much conversation and a bottle of wine, our aspirations are higher than our brain space. we have full tired heads, we are foggy.
