Cora's Playground Dedication.

This bit of picture sharing is way overdue.

very sorry.

Heather and I slept in the gorgeous playroom

during our stay at Megan's.

Packed seeds in adorable little pouches

sunday afternoon before the dedication.

341 balloons were passed out and released

Each one representing the number of days

of precious Cora's too short life.

Cupcakes and icepops were passed out

And everyone got to spend some time

chatting and hanging out on the playground.

The playground turned out to be more than

I think anyone could have ever dreamed.

And the sign.... so amazing.

The dedication was so bittersweet.

Heartbreaking.

Perfect. &

Beautiful.

Baby Janey all dressed her Cora dress

for dinner at Jess's Mom's house.

These ladies are amazing.

Inspirational.

Jess and her family and the strongest, sweetest most welcoming people

I've met in my life.

The next day, we sadly had to leave

and head back to our own families.

But before we left Megan took us to Sugar Sisters

It was cute, yummy and fun to spend those last few minutes

chatting with the girls.

Kansas-Craft Fair

We flew in to Wichita

and sweet Megan picked us up at the airport

We grabbed lunch at chipotle

and headed out to Carolyn's (a family friend of Megan's)

She has a beautiful house

with a lake, tons of land and

a bunkhouse where we slept.

We got up early the next morning

and headed out to the big Craft Show

in Hillsboro, Kansas.

We met up with Jess and her lovely sister Ann
and shopped the craft fair

and surrounding fun places Megan knew about
Then went out to 2 barn sales

Janey was a super happy baby
and also enjoyed the barn.

We were all in heaven
and probably never would have left.

But, cooking and having a wonderful
 dinner with Jess, her sister and mom,
was calling us back to Megan's.

The drive back was beautiful.

What a fun day of shopping with all the girls.
So much better than shopping with husbands,
that ask why we need one of those...
or what we're gonna do with that. ;)

Cooking with all of the women and Megan's daughters
in the kitchen was more than I can explain.
Dinner was delicious.
And chatting with the girls fed some part of me
that I didn't know had been empty.

A special weekend in Kansas.

I met Julie and Heather at the Dallas airport

for the first time on Friday and we flew

to Kansas and met this amazing blogger friend.

We made the trip in order to

love on Jess and Joel

as this was the weekend for

Cora's Playground Dedication.

We may have all been a little crazy

but I think it was such a special weekend

that I feel so blessed to have been a part of.

Couldn't imagine now, having done it any other way.

My heart is so full. My life forever changed....

I have more to share, but I'm super tired

probably should have already gone to bed....
