The kids and I headed to the delta again for a friend's wedding. It was such a beautiful ceremony. Short and OH. SO. SWEET. I have never seen a couple so smitten with each other during their ceremony. They just couldn't keep their eyes off of each other.
The weekend was very eventful. Starting Thursday when we left the house. I accidently left Swayze at the house. I know I know.. Go ahead and give me the mother of the year award. I'll proudly display it on my mantle (along with my skeet shooting trophy).. In my defense, I was so frazzled as I was trying to get out the door. I have to do everything between feedings, therefore I was trying to get out the door as soon as I finished feeding at 3 and in the delta as close to 6 as I could. Campbell wasn't dressed and was running around acting like a wild child. So, when I finally got him in the car, I just jumped in and left the house. God was watching over me though... I stopped at Cooper's parents to load Campbell's tractor. Beth asked Campbell "where's Swayze?" I realized she was sitting in her carseat right where I left her. I spun gravel out of the driveway to go get her. She just smiled when I walked in the door.. like she is below.
Saturday night I locked my keys in the car.. along with Campbell's blanket. He is very partial to that one blanket. We tried giving him every blanket in the house. Nothing worked. A tow truck from Vicksburg had to come unlock my car. Two hundred dollars later, we were on the road back to Crawford.
Never thought I would say it, but I miss the delta during this time of year. I love seeing all the fields of white cotton. We don't have much of that around here. I attempted to get some pictures of Campbell in the cotton, he wasn't very cooperative. We also went and rode the tractor with Pappy-he has since had a haircut and no longer resembles Jimmy Buffet.

Precious pics!! Swayze has changed so much already!
Ok you are far too young to be that forgetful!! :) My mom left my sister anne eliza at several different locations, but that was her fourth! Swayze is a doll!
Don't feel too bad. I left Phelps at home drove all the way across Santa Fe, got the big girls out for gymnastics, and went to get the car seat out. Yep, then oh no,realized she was at home. Sweet baby was asleep in the same spot I left her. Being a mom is tough!
You poor thing! I would have flipped out. Luckily, babies are resilient! And what a great story that will make when she grows up.
