Vacation :: Gulf Shores, AL

Image
Resurrecting the blog to post a billion vacation photos. I want them to live forever - we had a great time on our first official family vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama at the end of May. We were gone 8 days, spent over 40 hours in the car and drove over 2,000 miles before it was all said and done. Sounds amazing with three small children, doesn't it?! The kids did surprisingly well and handled the long travel days like rockstars. We had perfect weather, ate delicious food, enjoyed cocktails on the beach and soaked it all in. Our Airbnb condo was the perfect amount of space for us and we've already talked about going back for another visit. The beach was so clean and the sand was so soft; the girls swam in the ocean and Baker would have joined them if we let him dive head first into the water. Not too shabby, if you ask me!

I'm so far behind in getting this post up! Better late than never though, right?! I owe all the kids updates for the blog so we'll start here with our LL Girl.

She'll pick out her outfit in the morning (a blue dress with blue pants or alternating heart patterns are some of my favorite ensembles...), insist on dressing herself and declare everything matches even if it doesn't. She barely lets me brush her hair and is in constant need of a trim thanks to a wonky cowlick in the back that grows faster than the rest of the hairs on her head. She may be loud and aggressive but she's...

Fall 2018

Image
Nothing like a novel of a blogpost to recap an entire season of life. 2019 resolution - get back to blogging. Although, I think I say that every time I type up a new post, but it's good to have goals I guess. Our fall has been busy with regular life stuff, nothing too out of the ordinary for us and I'm definitely thankful for that! September This month started with my Mom's Retreat to Phoenix. It was a quick trip but wonderful nonetheless. Next year's retreat is in Nashville and I'm already planning and scheming to get myself there - for the entire thing this time! :) Gracyn lost her first tooth and refused to let the Tooth Fairy come visit. She held onto that tooth for about 3 weeks until her 2nd tooth fell out. Only then was the Tooth Fairy allowed to come collect the goods - but only if she did NOT come into the house. Gracyn put her teeth in ring box on the front porch and wrote her a note. She closed the blinds and locked the door and went out to check things...
