Vacation

I'll be coming home on the 17th, Kelley and will make sure you've got your Cindy book before you leave. Sounds like some much needed quality time with your parents. They'll probably enjoy having you to themselves for a bit.

I had a great but exhausting time. I've not kept up with a two and a half year old for a week in a long long time. Bailey wanted Grandma to do everything for her. My daughter got a bit of a rest but I'm kinda glad to be back home to my quiet house.

Too many years have passed and I guess I'd just forgotten how much is involved in keeping up with little ones. I didn't realize I'd lost so much energy. My hats off to you Moms that are chasing little ones around all the time. I enjoyed every minute of my time with my kids but it is good to be back home. I'm sure in a few weeks I'll be missing them again. It was so neat sitting on the balcony with Bailey in my lap watching the fireworks on the beach. It was a special time for just us. My daughters came out the second night and watched but Bailey stayed in my lap so it was our time together. It was great! She went on an on about watching the flowers in the sky.

but she's also a livewire on the go constantly till she crashes. She already has a vivid imagination with pretend friends and places. I don't know what to expect at any given time but she is precious. She'll be three in November.

reading in unless I can count Green Eggs & Ham, The Cat In The Hat, Horton Hears a Who, What Do You Do With a Kangaroo, and others. I only read one book listened to one at night when lights were out and listened to two on the drive down and back. Gotta get busy and read more.
