Wilmington Girl's Trip

Earlier this month, Matthew and I traveled to Wilmington, NC for a girl's weekend. It had been over two years since we had all four been together. The last time being in Wilmington right after Amy and Kevin got married and before they moved to Hawaii. On that trip I was 5 weeks pregnant with Robert, Molly lived in Colorado, and Erin was engaged. This trip I brought Matthew (9 months) with me, Molly lives in Richmond (yay!), Erin and Jimmy are expecting sweet Hattie in November and Amy had both Finn (almost 2) and Rose (4 months) with her. My favorite thing was simply sitting up late into the night and catching up. We chatted about life and kids and everything. So much has changed but also so much is the same and I will be forever grateful for each of them.

Amy got to meet Matty and I got to meet sweet Rose! They will be in the same grade in school, so we obviously decided that they will be each other's homecoming dates at some point. 

Seeing Finn and Matty together was really sweet. Finn was so kind about sharing his toys with Matthew. I wish that I could have brought Robert too. Finn and Robert would have had a blast! Finn and Robert are only 5 months apart. Matthew and Rose are 5 months apart too. 

Matty and Molly time... they are both serious beach lovers.

Although I missed Robert, it was really nice to have just some Matty and Mama time. It was also so much more manageable for me to have quality time with Amy, Erin and Molly. 

The house we stayed in was right on the ocean. After I got Matty down we would sit on the deck with a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean. 

While I was gone, Robert had the time of his life with Daddy, Mamie and Papa. I received plenty of pictures showing me all the fun that he was having, which in return made me happy too. They had donuts, went to Busch Gardens and went to the pool!
