S'mores for dessert!

Thank you Grandma and George for the wonderful weekend! I'm sure Sally will be asking to go back for weeks!

Meanwhile, Libby enjoyed being an only child.  {She did ask for Sally every time we got in the car and whenever she'd wake up from a nap or bedtime.}

Good Morning!

Shoppin

Being Cute

Snack time

Summer!

She loves Figaro now!

Wonderfully relaxing girl time! Miss Tiff...but, she did just have a baby! We got 50% off coupons so we'll all go again when she reschedules!!

Two Peas in a pod!

Mom, what's the nursery rhyme about the naughty little girl with the curl?

One of her favorite things to do is open junk mail, sort it, and recycle it!

The rest of the weekend you saw in my Father's Day post yesterday.

Father's Day 2013

I'll speak for Reid, in that he had a wonderful father's day :) We were definitely missing Sally this morning and welcomed her back with open arms at noon. 

Thank you so much to Uncle Joey for bringing the kids home so we didn't have to sit in the car on this absolutely perfect summer day!! Thank you thank you to my mom and George for such a fun and memorable weekend for Sally, pictures to come from that tomorrow.

We woke up and went to 8:30am Mass, grabbed our BOGO Caribou's and headed to Lake of the Isles to walk around and enjoy the sunshine!

Youngest

A nice couple asked if I wanted to be in the picture too

Selfies are always fun too!

 When we got home we had a picnic lunch on the front lawn while we waited for Sally to arrive!

Being as cute as can be!  {Thank you Grandma for her adorable dress!}

 We gave Daddy his special cards.  Sally had made another one this weekend, but I didn't get a picture of it before she went to bed {she wanted to hang it in her room}

Some day our girls will truly know how blessed they are to call this man their Daddy.  Until then, they'll just have to trust their Mama!

They love their Daddy!

How blessed am I?!

 Mommy and Daddy got to enjoy some relaxing time in the sun while the girls took a nap.  Daddy opted to stay home and play in our little pool instead of rush off somewhere.

Sisters were glad to be reunited! {Thanks Nana for the Jelly Belly Icee!!}

Sisters

We grilled steaks for dinner.  It wouldn't be a true celebration if we didn't end it with some ice cream!  We made a quick trip to DQ before our "sever thunderstorm warning" that didn't amount to anything.

We made sure to have extra stories and prayers about Grandpa Joe! I'm pretty sure he'd be very proud of who his "Jackson Girl" married and the amazing Father he has become!

Happy Father's Day Reid, thank you so much for all that you do and how hard you work to ensure that your girls have the best life possible. You are an amazing father and role model for our girls! We love you so much!

Only Child

Sally left yesterday for her 2nd Annual Big Cousin weekend at Grandma and George's.  Libby is an only child for the weekend.  So far, it has been a nice break, it's 9:20am and she's still sleeping!

I got my workout in at the gym.  Sipped hot coffee and caught the top headlines of the news.  Showered. Started some laundry. Caught up with friends via text. Organized pictures and updated the blog!

All loaded up and ready to go!

Father Don {Family friend and Priest that married us} came over for a visit the other night.  We're so blessed to have him in our lives!  Clearly we are quite comfortable with him around here!

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  After Libby's nap we headed to Calhoun and walked around the lake.  She'll barely made a peep, there was so much to look at.  It was a bit of "spring break"  scenes everywhere you looked.  It was so packed you would have thought there was some sort of festival going on.

She LOVED watching all of the doggies

Little Elephant loving her one on one time! Geez, you forget how easy it can be with one child!

Happy Friday, Happy Weekend, Happy Father's Day, Happy 5th Birthday to Cannon, Happy One and a Half Birthday to Libby, Happy Everything!

The Prince Has Arrived!

We added another Bobby to our clan!  He's Pat and Tiffany's newest addition, named after Tiff's Dad.

Lucky for me, it summer so Suh was able to come play with the girls, so I could sneak away for a quick visit.

About 5 hours new and he is perfect! Humph, Baby Fever!!  Congratulations Christensen Family, we're so excited for you to join the ranks of a family of 4!

We had enough of the quick sprinkle, clouds and teases of sunshine yesterday, so we made our first trip to the pool!

Happy to feel the pool is indeed heated! We had a grand time and can't wait to get back!

We woke up to another rainy day, surprise surprise.

Libby is quite proud of her tower making skills!

We went to the Plymouth Library {Super nice library, we'll be back!}today for a special story time with Story Time Players.  They act out the story.  Kind of a fun change!

Oh Mister Sun
