I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I hope you all enjoyed Jeff’s posts. And yes my friends, I do realize that I am the luckiest girl alive. Not only did he endure a weekend alone with the two most care intensive of our children but he somehow found the time to put together two of the sweetest blog posts I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. He really is such the husband.

     And what did his sacrifice allow me to do you ask?  Well, I spent a wonderful weekend hanging out with my family back home.  A last minute change made it possible for Torri to join us for part of the time, quickly turning our three generation girls weekend into a four generation one.  We had the ultimate girl power day that involved pedicures, Starbucks, cruising in a convertible, yummy food, an open air concert, that nightclub I mentioned, and maybe even a bit of wine tasting.  I met my sweet and adorable neice as well as my younger brother’s equally sweet and adorable new girlfriend for the first time.  The time spent hanging out with my mom and grandma (and of course everyone else too) was such a gift and I’m so thankful for every minute of it.  Oh wait.  That wine tasting did leave me with a bit of a headache the following morning and I can’t really say I’m thankful for that.  Everything else was awesome though.

     I thought the best way to relay my experience to you was to share a montage of photos.  While mom and I tasted the vino, Gram and Torri explored the wineries.  Torri, who is becoming quite the photographer, found some very creative prospectives from which to shoot the scenery.  You’ll see a few of her shots below.  And for those of you wondering whether Gram stuck in for the nightclub bit I can assure you she did (she’s quite the trooper my Gram) but thanks to all those artsy pictures Torri took my camera battery didn’t stick around to capture the moment.  My mom, however, did get the goods and I will attempt to bribe her for the evidence. 

     Okay, I wish I could share more but if I don’t get to the laundry I’m liable to lose Jayce among the pile of it.  The pictures will have to suffice.
