Destin: Day 2

I have to admit, I am thoroughly enjoying this vacation even more than I thought I would. With as busy as we have been prior to this week, it has been SO refreshing not having an agenda or any type of "responsibility". Thank you Lord for rest. Here are some highlights from day 2.

You can find more pics from day 2 right here.

Destin: Day 1

Day one has been a success despite the minimal sleep from last night. The 15 passenger van loaded with Patrick, Jett and I, Tim (Patrick's brother), Katie, Macie, LT and Dee left Houston around 4:00 PM last night. After a couple stops, one of which was a sit down dinner at Cracker Barrel, we finally pulled into our Condo around 3:45 AM. Macie slept about 80 percent of the way, Jett slept about 5 percent of the way. All that to say, we were very, very, very tired, and woke up tired, of course. BUT that is okay...because we are on vacation, and our agenda for the week is full of R&R. Here are few pics of day one! You can find more here.

HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Spitting Image

Most of the time, people say Jett looks just like me...yes, this flatters me, but I don't really see it. However, I do see Patrick in Jett a little bit every now in then, but ESPECIALLY in this video. I cannot believe how much this little boy in this video reminds me of all the home videos I've watched of Patrick when he was this age. I'll try and get a copy of one of those videos for you, but in the mean time, this is Patrick 23 years ago...

Canton, How I Love Thee

somehow...i managed to live an hour away from canton

for 19 years of my life,

and never experienced this AMAZING place until now.

i will definitely be making another trip here soon!

here's a glimpse of what i found.

originally going to be my sewing desk,

but it is too small...

writing desk instead, i still love it.

this is my prayer for our home.

boxers. yes, jett is wearing boxers.

so cute, i might add.

his name is monogrammed on the rear.

my new sewing project: boxers...they look super easy.

there is one more special item to come,

that i can't wait to blog about.

stay tuned!

Cute, You Are

my little yoda thoroughly enjoyed his 2nd halloween...

despite the fever and nasty cold he has been fighting.

he was able to stretch his energy for all the excitement,

and finally crash around 10:30 PM in my arms.

what a great day.

may the force be with you.
