…we were both belly laughing so the picture is a bit “off” but that’s why I love it so….

Well, I would actually be lying if I said they were troublesome because they were angelic all weekend. Seriously. Michael loves loves loves Sabrena. We heard his little voice constantly yelling, “Sabrena, where are you? Sabbreeeeennaaaa, Sssaaabbrreeennaaa, SABRENA!” She couldn’t go far without him noticing. And Miss Sabrena being the little tomboy she is had no problem tackling him and keeping him occupied with basketball, baseball, and soccer. I mean, it’s really no wonder he loves her!! However, the events of the weekend came to a head last night at dinner when he fell asleep at the table. I was carrying a passed out toddler out of the restaurant at 8:30…poor thing. He said, “Why did Sabrena wear me out?” :) All in all, it was so wonderful to have my parents and Sabrena spend the weekend with us. I’m going to have to agree with Michael and say that they truly wore me out. I am ready for some rest, relaxation, and a calming bubble bath!

We miss you guys already…can’t believe it’s going to be two months before we see you again. :(

Love you bunches,

B, K, and M

Ohhhh it’s been a week! We had a beauuuuttiiffuul time in Cali, but it’s always hard to say goodbye to the ones we love there. …and coming home to having to say goodbye to one of my best girls was no easy feat either. She is moving out of state and while I have long wanted this for her, for purely selfish reasons only of course, I wish she could stay. We cozied up in our favorite purple velvet Starbucks chairs and chatted the day away. Many hours and many tears later, she was on her way. Belle – you have made my stomach hurt so many times from laughter, wiped many tears, listened for countless hours, traveled this beautiful world, and created so many wonderful wonderful memories for me. I am so so proud of you and so excited for you and your new venture. And while I will miss you terribly, I am always only a phone call away. All my love…
