Summer Plans!!

Hello beautiful family!

I just wanted to check in! W&M is going well!! Finals are coming up and I'm making my summer plans!

My last final is the first week in May (SO SOON!) I was wondering if any of the Waltrip clan had summer plans, or dates that you all are going to be at the lake house!

I am going to NY in the first part of the summer then volunteering in Naples, FL from June 20th - August 13th, and classes start August 25th!

I would love to come to roanoke at some point this summer!

FIll me in on the potential plans!

So much love!

Danielle

My Birthday in Rio Rancho

Ben and I have had a wonderful time at Emily and George's. We landed in Albuquerque after an uneventful plane trip (which thankfully wasn't on Southwest!). Saturday night we celebrated my birthday at Maria's Restaurant in Santa Fe, which is famous for its 100 different margaritas! Today (my real birthday), we took Camie in for her 9 month checkup (22 lbs and 29 inches) and Emily fixed a wonderful chicken dish. And, it goes without saying, I have been absolutely beside myself with joy at being with sweet Camie...here are a couple pictures. REALLY, I wish you could be here!

DONE! The Sofa Project is Complete

At last! The sofa is renewed and Carolyn and I can enjoy the fruit of our labor...except that now Caro wants to make throw pillows and curtains (and who am I to object?). This has been a great learning experience and lots of fun bonding with family and friends - like an old-fashioned quilting bee.

We also had a little help from Gussie - she was good company!

Ben and I leave tomorrow for Rio Rancho and 10 days with George, Emily and Camie! Emily has already said she will allow me to get up with the little darling in the mornings, all by myself, so we can have some special "BeBe time!" We return on April 11th to the Charlotte airport.

Carolyn also leaves in the morning for home in Arkansas. It has been so wonderful to have her here. She has been the reason for lots of extended family gatherings involving food and crafts! I will miss her...back to the real world.

Happy Birthday, again, to all the spring babies!
