Jack and Lay came home. Jack for the weekend, Layla for twelve days. it was wonderful. their return made for a great opportunity to celebrate their recent engagement. we crowded the café with friends and family. it was special, it was busy, but it was sooo fun. their joy is contagious. the excitement is real. the wedding planning was really wonderful to share in while she was here. anddddd, a stunning white dress was chosen, which was such a privilege to share in. a complete gift for my heart on so many levels.
a few photos captured by Layla and Kia capture some sweet moments.
and now they are back in California. i am adjusting and riding out the new routine, again...i know this feeling all too well by now. another dear one of ours is also on the west coast (Joelle is coming for a visit soon as well in a couple of weeks!). when the big kids leave it's a bit of a sinking feeling, a hole, especially when we are aware of parts we miss and long to share in. Cree feels it every time...still- both Jeff and i agree, it's all overwhelmingly worth her palpable joy.
