And I did my best to fix it up! How can you go wrong with such a cute happy face? (I'll try not to think about the fact that I finally had grown her baby mullet out...) Daddy said, "Make sure you keep a bow in her hair..."
We had a lovely evening walk, crisp, but not cold.
Ben got a deer, and his Dad cleaned it all up and processed the meat...and lots of it!
We had special visitors this weekend....my lifelong best friend, Kristin and her boyfriend, Mossimo, here all the way from Italy. She was staying with her family in Charlottesville. Her thoughtful and kind sister arranged a surprise visit...Kristin didn't know she was coming to see us. We were both celebrating our leap to the big 40. Kristin's sister, Elizabeth, and her parents came, making the visit extra special. My parents came too, and we had a family reunion, of sorts.We had a grand visit...too short, but wonderful.
Emily had three of her girlfriends over on Friday...They had a spa-at-home the next day. Don't they look like aliens?
Mary Margaret joined in the fun!
