We took a weekend trip away without Andy. The first time I have ever been anywhere overnight with my kids by myself. I was a little nervous, but accompanied by the pro herself. Our first trip to an indoor water park in Pigeon Forge. Wonderful friends. Late nights. Early morning giggles. And feeling like a piece that we have been missing was filled. We have missed Tanya and her famiy. It was a wonderful treat to spend the weekend with them.
Just getting back from a long weekend in Maryland visiting family and being part of a new baby's baptism. It was so precious. Cousins together once again. A new house with a new pool. No need for anything but swim suits and sunblock. One
It ended with hugs and huge smiles, because this time, we only wait two more weeks to see them on our annual beach trip to Hilton Head. I can't wait on one hand, but on the other, that will wrap up our summer. The true bang will be when my Bear turns "5". I am not sure how we got here or where on earth five years have gone, but I am pretty sure I want the next five to slow down. We have a lemonade stand party full of yellows and pinks planned when we get back from vacation! Celebrating sweet summer style.
As I type this both girls are sleeping. I am refueled after a fun evening with my sweet, dear friend and I am so thankful for a husband that knows me. So completely. Giving me these breaks that come just at the right time. A rainy week has been just what the doctor ordered for us too. Inside days, lots of snuggles and together time. The hot sun returns this weekend and we will march on.
Hope your weekend is full of fun and you are enjoying your summer as much as we are!
