I'm convinced that because I talked and talked and talked about how nice last week was, and how lovely the sunsets were, the weather gods decided to punish me by taking the sun away. It has been cloudy and gray here since mid-Friday afternoon, and I
hate it! The one thing I've never liked about winter here is that it is devoid of sunshine, making the entire landscape seem colorless. However, Hillary and Houston were my rays of light this weekend, making the endeavor fun despite the miserable weather and the less than exciting periods of waiting for the next phase. They did beyond amazing for their first ever event, and I was SO proud of Hill for holding it together despite Huey's numerous baby moments. You can check out
her blog for more details and even more pictures, but I'll post some of my faves here as well:
