Weekend Replay

Yes, the new week is half over but we had so much fun over the weekend we needed a little extra time to recuperate.
We left Wednesday last week to fly up to Michigan and visit family.

Its no joke flying with 2 children, this is just the beginning of our luggage.  Liam was even "forced" to pull his own suitcase.

 

We were able to get in plenty of relaxation... its so nice when grandparents are around to temporarily relieve us from parent duty.

Friday we went to Uncle John's Cider Mill.  The pumpkins there were AMAZING!  I'm sure I have never seen pumpkins like those here in the Sweet Carolinas.

 

 

Saturday Grandma was on duty all day while Brian and I went to the football game.  Every time I go back I forget how beautiful campus is, I sure do miss it!

 

Aubrey slept like a champ while we were there.  Until 4am each morning.  I knew I should have stayed there and let Brian come home alone, last night she was up nearly every hour!  As much as I did enjoy the extra sleep, 4am is a difficult time for her to wake up, I have had just enough rest to make it difficult getting back to sleep after feeding A.

 

All great things came to an end when we had a long day of traveling on Sunday.  I am very luck to have children who travel well.  Aubrey slept most of the time of the airplanes and had fun observing others at the airport.  Grandma had just bought Liam some new trucks that kept him occupied.

Lanyards Galore

Okay so it is no secret we haven't had good Thanksgivings.  Liam was diagnosed and hospitalized over his first Thanksgiving.  We were at home last year but it was still difficult for us, I have a feeling Thanksgiving will always be difficult- even though we are so thankful for all the blessings we have with Liam!

Well this year we are leaving our troubles behind!  Liam will have the time of his life!  We are going on a cruise!!!!  A 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. We are so excited, but it doesn't come cheap.  We leave in 107 days.  The first of many things I will be selling to pay for this cruise are lanyards.

It is the perfect time of year for lanyards will school starting just around the corner.  I will even argue a new lanyard is the best thing about school starting!

I will be posting them in the shop this week, if you would like to order one and don't see a color you like just email me the color/design you would like to see and I will make it!

Our week in iphone photos w.5

Well it has been a while since I shared our live via iphone. Today I amazed my SIL with the photos an iphone can take!

Today is the last day of our vacation. We're going to wait until Liam is ready to go to sleep tonight then begin our drive back to the Sweet Carolinas.

Here is what we were up to this week.

Looking all cute on the elevator

The beach- OF COURSE!

The sun is EXHAUSTING

A day out of the sun- Lunar Golf

Liam tried new food- corn bread

Found this hawk nest in the parking lot lights at the mall- after watching Hunger Games

Liam found a Seuss hat on a trip to the bookstore. We went to find book 2 of the Hunger Games!

Brian and I took an afternoon out to the darquiri deck

Little Bits of Happiness, w.1

I have seen this thread among the blog-y world lately. I have so much to be happy {thankful} for I could not wait to join in!

We have spent the last week in Flordia with family. It has been a dream. Best of all Liam has loved it! Each morning he wakes up and runs to the window. "AQUA"

Since we stay on a private residence in a popular beach, there is a key you need to use to go up the elevator { or alligator as Liam calls it} to go up to the apartment or even to get to the beach. Liam demands the key and runs to the elevator to "wind it".

Last summer Liam screamed if you wanted to go into the pool. As much as he loved bath time, he wanted nothing to do with a swimming pool. This year he says "down stairs, swim. Come on!". He throws his face into the water. Asks to go under. And jumps from the side of the pool into your arms. He LOVES the water!

This week has made me happy. Liam makes me happy. I am so happy to spend time relaxing with my family.

Wordless{ish} Wednesday

Who wouldn't want to wake up to a view like this?!

And because a post without a picture of Liam just isn't right....

Yup, Liam is definately enjoying his vacation too!

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail

Aunt Cora was recruited to play the Easter Bunny at the Condo's Easter Egg hunt on Sunday. Since we are leaving Saturday she dressed up for Liam last night... well more just to entertain us with her costume.
