Happy Feast of the Assumption!
Our busy day began with beignets for breakfast. They're part of a

All my attachment parenting is backfiring and now I am too attached! LOL

Just so you know, I didn't send her away willingly! It was just 2 weeks after Mom died and we got back from the funeral just a few days before she had to leave for the first time.
