While Momma's away, the others still play...

There was certainly no need to feel bad for abandoning Clark while I had my girls' weekend in Asheville.  Plenty of action went on with out me.  In fact, they practically had a Schmutz family reunion!  Celia and Benson came down from DC; Vaughn, Margaret and Lucy came up from Charlotte; and cousins Emily and David Garcia and their boys came over from Chapel Hill.  They had a big birthday bash for Celia's birthday, complete with "Maurice cake."  My kiddos were in good hands and stayed plenty entertained.  It was definitely one of those weekends where I would have liked to be in two places at once!
