Just the Girls

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be included on a Smith girls' weekend.  Although I was a little anxious about leaving the boys (my first time leaving Austin, and only days after weaning him completely), I knew they would be fine and I was so excited to go!  I'd forgotten how leisurely travel can be.  I actually got to read on the plane!  Oh, the luxuries...

We first all met up in Reno and got to attend a fabulous Katie G thrown baby shower for Sarah, who is due in June with their first baby.  Katie is amazing and I ate way too many delicious treats.  After lots of oooing and ahhing over darling girly baby things, we headed up to Tahoe for some relaxing.  We enjoyed an incredible spa day, yummy food, and lots of reading and resting.

Rosie and I braved the cold one afternoon for some picture taking.  (Thanks to C3 for lending me his camera so I could truly enjoy light travel!)  My fingers were numb.

So nice to lay on the couch near the fire and read...


Beautiful Sarah, 30 weeks.



The morning we left had beautiful blue skies and sun.





Sarah, Rosie, and Calli.


I'm so glad to be part of your family! 
Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

Sounds heavenly! I still have yet to have a night away from Bergen. In fact I think 5 hours is my record :)

How fun to be with the girls! And beautiful pictures!
