Labor Day Weekend

As I have mentioned in a previous post, Mickey’s work schedule has been crazy the past few months.  While I am so thankful that he has a job that he enjoys, the girls and I miss him like crazy when we go days without seeing him (at least awake!) So, needless to say, we were all very excited when he had the entire Labor Day weekend off.  No phone calls.  No emails.  No checking the weather.  Just time to relax and enjoy our family and friends.

On Saturday we headed to Greenville to the Upstate Children’s Museum.  I’m still not sure who had the most fun… the girls or the daddy?!?! It made my heart happy to see smiles on everyone’s faces and for us to all be together. :)

On Sunday after church we spent some time resting and then headed to Grams and Pop-O’s house to swim with our besties- the Greenes!  This time was much needed as we haven’t had much time with them lately due to the addition of a precious little girl named Isabel in mid-July.  We are so blessed to have them in our lives and wouldn’t trade their friendship for anything!

We wrapped our holiday weekend with a little shopping, a cookout, and dinner with my family on Monday night.  As you can tell, we definitely made the most of every moment!  Now, when is the next 4 day weekend?  I’m already ready!

Life Lately

Life lately has been very busy! I know I am very behind on blog posts, but I am going to try to catch up over the next few days. School is back in session and between my new postion as Assistant Principal, a husband with a CrAzY work schedule, a 7 year old, and a 17 month old, I am one slightly stressed and tired mama. However, in the midst of it all I remind myself how blessed I really am. I have a job that I enjoy, a husband who works hard to provide for our family, two little girls that adore me.. even if we are having Spaghetti-Os for the 3rd night in a row, and an extended family that jumps in to help out whenever possible. I couldn't ask for anything more. This season of life may be a little crazy, but its where we are. Memories are continuing to be made so there are plenty of stories to share. Stay tuned...
