Postcards from the weekend
by chuckofish
My four day trip to Maryland went smoothly and I traveled without a hitch. Air travel was on time and, though crowded, not terrible. DN picked me up and dropped me off in Baltimore and drove everywhere in between.
We celebrated Katie’s first birthday for several days filled with fun activities, which included driving to Virginia with my backseat buddy…
Wearing matching Mommy and Me outfits…
And other new clothes…
With cake…
Lots of walking with the stroller…
And several alfresco dining adventures…
Checking out antique malls and vintage brown furniture…
And with special presents…(Daughter #1 made the pink pillow out of quilt squares my mother had cut out over 30 years ago.)
I am grateful to have such a lovely, accommodating family with such a happy, healthy doll baby. (And a son-in-law who willingly drives all over creation in Beltway traffic and then throws a lovely dinner together.)
Life is good and I am happy to have traveled again for the first time in 2 1/2 years, but as always it’s good to be back home in flyover country. (The OM picked me up at the airport. And he didn’t burn the house down while I was gone.)
Praise Jesus.

Wonderful! Katiebelle is the cutest (I love that new smocked outfit) and the pillow that Mary made is beautiful! I’m so glad you had a wonderful time and that the travel went smoothly. Chris and Nicole are due in later today…
It was SO great to have you here, and I am beyond grateful that you made the trek. We are lucky that Katie has a wonderful family who loves her so much ❤
Sooooo happy you were able to travel and join in Katie’s celebration!!!
It was super fun!
