But now that I am back, I can tell you that we had a lovely long weekend away in North Carolina visiting family and my BFF's new baby Claire.

Lili liked Claire, of course, but she was even more smitten with this Coconut Macaroon; And George had tons of fun playing Pac Man with Claire's Dad. Imagine four days in Greensboro with five Carsons in one hotel room. It hardly gets much better. Every night was like a slumber party with our toddler wide eyed and bushy tailed until eleven o'clock. Everyone had their toenails painted an exotic color (including Dad), and we also experimented with temporary body tattoos. The love...
