I finally made it a Baylor Homecoming! It just took moving to Texas, having a sister on campus and having an amazing bestie
who lives in Waco.
Mom, Kevin, the kids and I all drove down to Waco Thursday. Ashleigh had given us her schedule. She was available to hang out with us from 3:30-5:45. We took full advantage of our time with her... an early dinner at Ninfa's before she headed off to Pigskin.
Friday I stayed back at Lesley's house with the kids, while mom and Kevin followed Ashleigh around Waco. I love staying with the Swartz fam. It's one of the most comfortable places on the planet for me. Lesley is one of those few friends that I never miss a beat with. I'm so thankful for her friendship and I adore her family.
Friday night we went to the pep rally and bonfire. Sophia was slightly grumpy and tired, but Micah LOVED the whole experience. He danced most of the night. He gave a few good Sic Ems. He clapped with the Golden Wave band. He pointed and grunted at the huge bonfire and fireworks. He was so cute to watch.

Saturday morning we headed back to campus for the parade. Ashleigh's roomie, Emily, was one of the Kappa float chairs. It was by far the best float. There was so much detail and moving parts.
We ran into Jamie, a college friend and my Kappa "little" ;), and her sweet daughter.
Sophia is 10 days older than Rowan. It's been fun to watch them grow up side by side... I feel a through the years post coming on...
After the parade we visited the Kappa room for an Alumni brunch. Sophia is a rockstar in the room. She was wisked away when we walked in the door and schmoozing the whole time until I saw her again as we were leaving. In fact, we left her in the room with Ashleigh's roomie on accident and had to go back to get her. Mom of the Year!

Next year will be 10 years since graduation.
So... I'm old.
