This was one of our favorite weeks of the year! The week we go see Nana in Florida and regroup and refresh as a family after a grueling tax season.

Just for fun, I woke with a fever this day. Sickness lands harder on me than it used to and its tougher to fight off. In between my three naps right on this lounge chair, I snagged a couple pictures of the crew having SO much fun in the pool.

Medicated and determined to feel better, Shaun and I went for a 10-mile walk, part around town and part on the beach. I had a searing sore throat and almost no voice, so Shaun did most of the chatting. It made me smile to hear his observations.
When we walked up onto the beach at the tip of the island, I pulled my phone out to try to capture the beauty at the same moment he turned around, excited to see my reaction. That candid smile melts my heart.

The house we stayed in was an hour from Nana and John's house, so they came and stayed with us for a few days. As is her way, Nana got right in with all the action, catching up with the grands and greats. She's followed many a toddler around, happily checking out the things that are interesting to them, like filling up a plastic water can and dumping it.

We left at 5pm the night before and drove through the night, arriving in CT with just enough time to go directly to Aiden's first soccer game and then after, Amanda's practice. Yup...that's how we do it.
Good job getting caught up on the blog! I've always admired Nana's willingness to hang with whoever and her sincere appreciation to enjoy whatever they are enjoying. It's fun to watch her in action.
ReplyDeleteI love the family pic at Busch Gardens. The kids are catching up to you in height! Hope you’re feeling entirely better and had a wonderful week with your people!
