Remembering the Sun

This past March, we tried to get away from the snow and cold by visiting family in Florida. It was our first trip, as fate had conspired against us in the past, and it was a wonderful time. While I failed at getting pictures of Peanut's first trip on a plane (camera was in the overhead compartment the entire flight), I did not miss his first trip into the waves.

He is completely different from his brother, who still doesn't want to go in. But Munchkin did enjoy the pool, there was a lot of water play by everyone.

We tried to make the trip as relaxing as possible, with our most exciting adventure being a trip to the zoo where we fed the giraffes.

For the most part, we just let them play and be outside, since the weather at home definitely had been preventing that.

The best part of the trip for me was definitely the quiet time that we got to spend with each other.

We flew home to frigid temperatures, but that week of sun recharged us when I didn't even realize that we needed it.

Baby on a plane... flying home

Lazy Summer Days

I woke up dreaming of a day like this one. The heatwave that just recently broke had made beach mornings with the boys a memory, and I was looking forward to heading back. Then it rained. And I am sick. So our relaxing day in the sand and surf is still just a memory and we completed chores around the house instead. Well, my husband was amazing with the chores while I did little and napped. Now I am going to be heading to bed early tonight and dream of tomorrow being a better day.
