Weekend Highlights

I'm coming off of a pretty fabulous weekend and thought I'd share some of the highlights. I'm sure I'm going to miss something because the weekend was pretty much packed!

 - Tim stayed home with our 2 girls so that I could go to Indy with 2 of my aunts and my cousin. He is such a great daddy and of course took great care of the girls. And they must have had fun because Evie has turned into quite the Daddy's Girl over the weekend!

- The car ride to and from Indy (about 5 hours each way) was really good. I know usually car rides aren't a highlight of the trip, but I had some great conversations with my aunts and cousin. They are godly women and we talked about parenting, marriage, gratitude, and more. It was a good time for me and I think I learned a lot!

- The baby shower for my sister-in-law (our reason for going to Indy) was a hit! We had good food, good times with family, and Marissa got some great stuff for my new nephew (coming in September- SO exciting!). I'm really thankful to have a family that will all work together to make something happen (in this case decorating, food prep, cleaning, and organizing the shower), and have fun while doing it!

- Saturday night, several of us went shopping. I joked that for my sister-in-law, Ruth, and I it was "Kids-Free Moms Gone Wild," we closed down Hobby Lobby, Sam's Club, and Kohl's!

- My family is big on going out to breakfast when we get together. We went out Sunday morning and I had a great time visiting with everyone before we had to hit the road again.

- My sister has 3 beautiful girls and it was great to see them. On Friday when we arrived, I went up to their rooms and played with them for a bit. They were generally wild and crazy, jumping on the bed, jumping on me, and "fixing" my hair. It was so fun! And my littlest niece is getting so big! So fun to watch these girls grow

As I said, I'm sure I missed something! We had the weekend pretty jam-packed! Also, I made much of the shower decor and am really happy with the way it turned out. I'll post pics soon! Hope you had a great weekend too!
