Micah and Christine

Charlotte and I are both kind of sick right now... She is sleeping now and I will be soon. Decided I had better post anyway, though!
Charlotte is learning new things and taking on new challenges every day. Lately I have been thinking about this shift toward her more independent life... When she was a newborn I saw the two of us as a single unit. We were a mother-daughter pair, connected in almost the same way as when she was inside me. I had her with me constantly, and during our few times apart, I had a desperate need to have her back with me again.

Christine has class Monday afternoons, so normally Charlotte and I hang out at home. However, I had a meeting today, so I needed to be on campus for a while. So Charlotte and I headed into Chapel Hill. We got there a little early and decided to see the sights!

We started off just wandering around campus a bit

I carried her some...

...but she still wanted a little break before moving on...

...to the Old Well.

Another little break.

Finally, we walked back to my office so I could have my meeting.

We had a busy weekend in our family- both Micah and I have been working hard on projects for school. Still, we took a few minutes to eat at the Belted Goat this weekend.

I have gotten so behind on updating y'all on our meals around here! I’m really spoiled by my husband borrowing a fancy new camera that he enjoys using... it lets me pretend I am making superstar food. FoodNetwork, here I come. :)

Lots of food after the jump.
