This is what I did the ENTIRE weekend. Sadly, this was the Friday that the world learned Tim Russert passed away. It really made me sad. I spent a large amount of time reading the newspaper (which is not something I get to do often) and also took along two other good reads. I finished all of a great book,
The Yummy Mummy. It was awesome. Also packed
Atonement. Haven't finished it but working on it. Along with
When Crickets Cry which was unreal, a real page turner. So I think I made up for all those times I was reading
Rupunzel and
Strawberry Shortcake. And don't forget
Curious George!
So for my birthday Scott and I enjoyed a nice getaway to Lake Oconee. Had never been before and it was extremely rejuvenating and blissful. We had one dinner reservation and one spa appointment. Other than that, no place to be at any time. Sat. (the real birthday) we read the paper in bed til 9, went for a massage, had lunch at the pool, hung out at pool ALL DAY, layed in a hammock for an hour or so and watched a wedding, showered, then went back down by the pool for a late night supper. Don't worry, we will still in bed by 10 for Dateline. Some habits are hard to break! It was a really good time to be together and have some rest. Lillee Grace and BAxter really enjoyed our getaway as they were able to go to the beach and out in the boat with nana and papa. They don't mind us leaving at all.
Here's a pic of our beautiful, model-like feet. This is a picture we took on our honeymoon seven years ago. It would be interesting to see that picture and how our feet are getting worn and old.
This was Friday night. Got out of the shower to find Scotty sound asleep. I started not to wake him which would have been fine with me. However, I knew how much he was looking forward to a fancy meal. Me? I brought pb&j and cheez-its from Publix. I would have totally been finewith a picnic on the balcony. So, at the end of supper he is still raving about the creme brulee he ate there and the different flavors that "popped" and "crackled" in his mouth. He loves that. I'm glad I woke him up.
After several hours at the pool, I came back to find this waiting. How sweet of dear old Scotty. I think he had a little help from Amy!
he wants this to be his book cover! Crazy. His new Tilley hat I got him from SSI.
Can you believe LG is swimming? I know that it should be something she did at age 6 months. But I am not wearing Birkenstocks at the moment nor do I still breastfeed. Therefore, she eats chicken, drinks non-organic milk and til last week, wore floaties. Now she may as well be Michael Phelps now that she's doing so well. We LOVE Ms. Tyrena!
I"m telling you, a little perfecting of that jump and we'll be headed for Canada. Wait, that's the Winter Olympics!
Baxter with Farrah at the pool. I'd be willing to bet she just played creepy mouse with him moments before this photo was taken! He loves to hang out at the pool and "eat something."
Here are the princesses of the neighborhood! This was one afternoon when we had an impromptu dress up party. Two tacos, two hot dogs. Two milks, two lemonades. 1 ketchup, three grapes? Wow - how do people do it? It was like running a Picadilly buffet line for a few mins! Girls had lots of fun and this was just one of their costume changes!
A play date for Bac Bac. They had camp at their school and Con Con came home with him. Then Talbot came for visit. LG and Talbot enjoyed being the "babysitters" and helping with the little pack of mischief. The two little tikes are extremely funny to be around. At one point they had gotten life jackets on and were squeezed tightly into the red car. Bax had so much fun. They talk about each other constantly and they're so sweet together you have to oblige their requests to hang out. It's also nice for Bax to have friends over since "Princess Polly" always has someone over to exchange "get-up" outfits!
The sibling bond they share! Why is every pic of her choking him though?
