I’m home after meeting the amazin Mazen and visiting his mom and dad in Charlottesville! Matt, my mom, and I drove up on Friday evening. We ate sandwiches in the car, but of course we brought a cake from our favorite Durham bakery to celebrate Mazen’s birthday! I think it got a little beat up on the car ride, but it still tasted fabulous.
Matt is actually better with newborns than I am…he’s so calm and patient:)
On Saturday, we all headed to the farmer’s market and snacked on samples.
And then we spent hours relaxing on the porch and playing with the babe. It was a very peaceful weekend and Matt and I were happy to just lay low and get lots of sleep! The weather was nice and crisp, but I actually got so cold this weekend. I’m not quite ready to wear coats! Just jeans and long sleeves for now…
When we weren’t oohing and ahhing over Mazen, we obviously ate tons of food,
drank lots of beer,
and indulged in more dessert.
Isn’t he just the cutest? I’m definitely obsessed (and fascinated), but can’t say I’m quite ready for my own:) I’m pretty excited to just be the [hopefully] fun aunt for now!

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
You better watch out. Looks like your Matt is ready
You’re funny:)
M says come back soon!
He is adorable!
Great shots of Maze and his Uncle Matt!
I’m positive you’ll be the fun aunt. And it looks as if Matt will be the fun uncle, too! Fun pictures!
Beautiful pictures! Some of my best moments in life have been spent as Auntie.
I must say the idea of bringing a Birthday Cake to celebrate Mazen’s ACTUAL 1st Birthday was so inspiring! After all, when he turns 1 it will be the 1st anniversary of his birthday. Very cool to have a ‘BIRTH DAY’ cake. 
I know you’re going to enjoy being Aunt and Uncle. It’s a wonderfully fun relationship – almost as fun as Grandma, right Barbara!? 
Thanks! Our family is cake obsessed, so it only seemed necessary:)
Congrats! Being an Aunt is the best! My niece will be two in November and my nephew will be two in January. It was overwhelming having two sisters pregnant at the same time but the rewards are amazing. Spoil Mazen rotten! It’s your job now Aunt Laura!
Wow! Two at once…it will be so fun to watch them grow!
