It's My Party and I Can Cry if I Want To

This week has been a bittersweet one full of emotional goodbyes, reflections, disappointments, excitement, and everything in between. I wish I could write more, but to be honest I'm just too tired. So here are some pictures from the lovely going away party/baby shower that some dear friends threw for me. We have all been part of a play group for the last year and a half, and we have watched our babies grow into toddlers and then grow into little kids, while sharing tears, joys, troubles, and everything that moms should share. I will miss this weekly group SO MUCH and am a little nervous about not having such a circle when I get to Houston.

The party was lovely...and I definitely cried my share of tears. And Delilah ate her share of cupcakes. And graham crackers. And strawberries.

I could not find the charger for my camera, so these pics were all taken by Laura, whose house we were at. I promise that if I had been taking the pics, I wouldn't have focused so much on myself and Red!!! :)

Goodbye, Austin. This is hurting more than I thought it would...
