First Restaurant Trip

It was so much fun catching up and meeting the babies who ranged from our 3.5 weeks up to 12 weeks. We met at Foster's Market in Durham and, thanks to cool weather, sat out on the covered porch to eat.Dylan was the only baby to sleep through the entire adventure:Afterwards, I decided...
