One of my oldest and dearest friends came to visit us and meet Charlie boy last weekend. She and her husband have 2 sweet girls as well so our house was full, and so was my heart. She and I have been the best of friends since middle school so we have walked through so many life stages together and I always tell her that when I'm with her... I feel like the truest version of myself. Over the years we have dreamed about what our future would hold and where our lives would take us. It's safe to say that we have both had our share of adventures, but this visit was consumed with our current stage of life - motherhood. Our time was filled with smiling babies, crying babies, changing diapers, bonding over loss of sleep, and walking with strollers. It's so sweet to be walking through this season at the same time!

You are a beautiful gift in my life dearest Virginia.
