Weekend simplicity


I am a little late on the updates since we never seem to have a dull moment these days. Over the weekend we had a nice time, uneventful but somehow never sat down. I returned from my work trip to Vegas on Friday and was able to have some good quality cuddle time with the kids. I missed those hugs and giggles even though it was just a few days. However... I must say, I slept more in Vegas in two night than I generally do in a week at home. You know you are living it up when you go to bed in Vegas at 8:45pm.. but it felt great and was just what I needed.

Saturday we ran some errands and cooked a good ole' Paula Dean southern style meal for our friends that just moved here from MN that happen to live down the street from us. We are lucky to have met them as just moved here too and have two little girls that same ages as our kids. The kids play together great, even though I think Drew might scare them a bit with his hyper activity. We had a great time with friends and is starting to finally feel like we have a little social network here.

And finally Sunday, again we ran errands, went furniture shopping which is becoming slightly humorous as we do A LOT of furniture shopping and never seem to buy anything. But we do know what is available to us if we ever do make a decision! Hannah went to a birthday party and Drew and Dad decide to mow the lawn and spend some boy time together. And when outside... kids always seem to have popsicles. Goes with the 95 degree and 99% humidity weather.



Drew studied Daddy and walked along with his little mower trying to do the same thing as him. I remember buying this mower for Hannah at about the same age as Drew is now. Hannah was scared to death of it.. Drew... got a little worked up when Dad's motor started but didn't take him long at all to join the fun. The good news is that our lawn can be mowed in about 15 minutes, compared to 2 hours in MN. Doesn't take long to keep this place in tact :)
