Time with the Family

This weekend was fantastic. My mom, dad, and sister came up on Thursday and stayed with till Saturday afternoon. We had great food (thanks to Scotty's new bbq) and got to catch up with them. We played games, blew bubbles for the kids (picture to the right is by Charissa, I thought it was awesome) and they all got in the kiddie pool. Noelle LOVES anything that has to do with water!

This was the first year I think in my life that I didn't see any fireworks, and frankly I didn't mind at all. They are nice, but for some reason they don't do a whole lot for me. I was the one voting to stay home and hang out with the fam, have a nice cup of coffee and play some games...maybe that had to do with my incapacity for too much movement, but I think I'd feel that way even feeling 100%.

After Noelle spent a good hour or so in the pool we pulled her out due to mild hypothermia....well okay, maybe she was just getting really cold. She'd stay in there forever if it was up to her.

After the pool I got to spend some quality snuggle time with her while she was warming up. The last two weeks have been a bummer as far as being together cause I can't move so much. The time when I can get her to be still with me is precious....It is time that I wouldn't trade for anything.
